2. Self-healing concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-healing_concrete

   [1] [2] Therefore, it is essential to limit the crack's width and repair it as quickly as feasible. Self-healing concrete would not only make the material more sustainable, but it would also contribute to an increase in the service life of concrete structures and make the material more durable and environmentally friendly.

3. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

   Concrete is one of the most commonly used materials in home construction. When pockets of air are not removed during construction, or the mixture is not allowed to cure properly, the concrete can crack, which allows water to force its way through the wall. Foundations (footings) are horizontal pads that define the perimeter of foundation walls.

4. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

   Example of flat piece of concrete having dislodged with corroded rebar underneath, Welland River bridge across Queen Elizabeth Way in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The expansion of the corrosion products (iron oxides) of carbon steel reinforcement structures may induce internal mechanical stress (tensile stress) that cause the formation of cracks and disrupt the concrete structure.

5. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(materials)

   Masonry filler is really a composite material named filler as it is used to repair cracks and holes in walls. It is typically made of cement and hydrated lime with fine aggregate as filler material. Manufacturers include Toupret. [10]

6. Mortar (masonry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortar_(masonry)

   In old buildings with walls that shift over time, cracks can be found which allow rain water into the structure. The lime mortar allows this moisture to escape through evaporation and keeps the wall dry. Re−pointing or rendering an old wall with cement mortar stops the evaporation and can cause problems associated with moisture behind the cement.

7. Concrete pavement restoration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_Pavement_Restoration

   Dowel bar retrofit (DBR) is a process that re-establishes load transfer capability on joints and cracks by installing epoxy-coated, round steel dowels into existing concrete pavement across transverse joints and/or cracks. Slots are cut using diamond-tipped saw blades; the existing concrete is removed and the dowels are placed in the slots ...
