THE GROUTING OF CRACKS WITH SYNTHETIC RESINS

A TECHNIQUE OF PRESSURE GROUTING FINE CRACKS IN CONCRETE STRUCTURES WITH EPOXY RESINS IS DESCRIBED. BY THIS MEANS REPAIRS CAN BE EFFECTED WITH A BOND OF GREATER STRENGTH THAN THE ORIGINAL SOUND CONCRETE. THE CHOICE OF A SUITABLE RESIN AFFORDS THE ADVANTAGE OF ACCOMMODATING VARIABLES SUCH AS THERMAL MOVEMENTS WHICH AFFECT THE CRACK WIDTH. SUCCESSFUL TRIALS WERE CARRIED OUT UPON A CRACKED ROAD AND ON DAMAGED PRESTRESSED 44 FEET LONG BEAMS. /RRL/A/
