Experimental Study on the Crack Repair Techniques of Concrete Structures: A Case Study

Abstract

A crack is a whole or partial split of either concrete or masonry into two or more portions caused by breaking or fracturing in concrete constructions. The bulk of fractures is caused by external forces higher than what the structure or its components can sustain acting on it. The most typical sign of degradation in concrete buildings is cracking. Once the fractured system has been assessed, an appropriate repair method that considers these reasons may be chosen. Selecting the best crack repair method may produce results that endure for a very long time while saving you a lot of time, money, and effort. The causes of cracks and several strategies for healing them are covered in this paper.

New experimental investigation of 3D cracks propagation in mortar under tension loading

“…For example, experimental characterization of the mortar cracks reinforced with multiwall carbon nanotubes was proposed in [2]. Several strategies for healing the cracks are experimented on using Epoxy Resin, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers, Bonded Overlays, Micro bacteria, and Electrochemical solution [3]. In 2023 [4], an experimental and numerical study of the crack growth in specimens under radial impact load provided a reference to evaluate the cemented rock under a dynamic load.…”

New experimental investigation of 3D defects propagation in mortar under tension loading

“…Several strategies for healing the defects are experimented on using Epoxy Resin, Car-bon Fibre Reinforced Polymers, Bonded Overlays, Micro bacteria, and Electrochemical solution (Bano et al, 2023). In 2023 (Zhu et al, 2023), an experimental and numerical study of the defect growth in specimens under radial impact load provided a reference to evaluate the cemented rock under a dynamic load.…”
