Abstract: Formation of cracks can be often visible in concrete structures. Although small cracks hardly affect structural properties of a construction, but they increase permeability, which in itself reduces structural stability and threatens structural durability, especially in humid environments.The risk of cracks in concrete structures based in humid environment, such as concrete dams and spillways, is much higher. Concrete repair is a complex process that differs greatly from the recently applied technologies in concrete structures construction. In concrete repair, new materials should be combinedwith old materials in such a way that a suitable combination is obtained able to maintain structures durability over the time against the environmental factors. There are different methods of concrete cracks repair. In the present article we will review several methods for treating concrete cracks.
