Abstract:

In today’s world, the issue of how to repair damaged concrete is becoming more and more important in order to extend the service life of concrete structures. Chemical and physical attacks are very common and often occur together with poor quality concrete that inevitably cause major damage.

A special system for concrete repair has been studied in the Mapei R&D laboratories. This system is based on shrinkage-compensated structural repair mortars protected with a polymer modified cementitious elastic membrane in order to improve the durability and the service life of concrete structures. This paper shows the main properties of this repair system and describes a case history of its efficiency for the reparation of an important highway viaduct.
