• Abstract:
  Laboratory testing was conducted to determine the extent of crack fill for crack sealers composed of methyl methacrylate, ; epoxy, urethane, and high molecular weight methacrylate. The test specimens consisted of eight-inch long concrete ; cylinders with a nominal 0.010 in. crack running the length of the cylinders and unsealed at the bottom. The following ; observations were made: all the sealers leaked to some degree from the bottom of the crack; thinner crack widths were ; more likely to be filled than wider crack widths; the fraction of the crack length filled in a cross-section through a cylinder ; was independent of the distance below the resin reservoir situated at the top of the crack; and a minimum of 70% crack fill ; was needed to prevent water leakage.
