Abstract:Reinforced concrete bridges with detrimental cracks are typically repaired by injecting the cracks with epoxy to regain concrete capacity. Crack injection is a costly operation; however, it is commonly used as a repair method itself or as preparation for other strengthening methods. This type of repair assumes that the injected cracks have restored the bulk concrete capacity of the structure. If the strength of the epoxy or bond is compromised significantly, the concrete strength will not be restored to the expected levels.
Traffic on the bridge may or may not be restricted during injection. Restricting traffic can increase the project cost, reduce safety, interfere with commerce, and increase inconvenience.
