Abstract
Cracks in reinforced concrete provide easy routes for de-icing salts and carbon dioxide to reach the steel. Work at TRRL assessed the effectiveness of various crack injection materials and methods by repairing cracked reinforced concrete slabs and then ponding them with sodium chloride solution and water for periods of up to 3 years. Sets of slabs were repaired using epoxy, polyester and methyl methacrylate resins. A further set were repaired by injecting the cracks with liquid silicate solution. Comparisons were made with slabs containing unrepaired cracks. (A)
