Spalling concrete is a common issue predominantly found in older buildings, which often feature reinforced concrete structures.
It is primarily caused by the natural deterioration process of carbon dioxide in concrete interacting with water, leading to corroded steel bars within the ceiling slab.
This corrosion results in cracked and bulging concrete cover, which can look like flaking concrete surfaces or exposed coarse rocky concrete aggregate, potentially compromising the structural integrity of the building.
Structural cracks within buildings occur when the building structure fails to account for variations such as defects, ground movements and concrete deterioration, impacting the building’s safety and stability.
These cracks typically exceed 3mm in width and appear in different orientations—horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or resembling staircases in foundation blocks.
Their presence can induce issues within the property, such as sloping floors and difficulty in closing doors and windows.
Non-structural cracks usually appear less than 3mm wide and don’t directly compromise the structural stability of the building, typically stemming from internally induced stress on concrete slabs.
Factors such as temperature fluctuations, weather changes, moisture build-up, shifting foundations, hydrostatic pressure, the presence of vegetation, and poor construction conditions are common causes of non-structural cracks.
Embrace the Allstar Waterproofing difference, where our unwavering precision in concrete repair ensures only the correct techniques will be used for the specific problem at hand.
Here are some possible methods we use to repair spalling concrete and cracks:
Epoxy resin is injected into cracks to restore and repair concrete back to its original state, with or without added reinforcement. The injected epoxy resin is actually stronger than the concrete and can restore the concrete’s strength.
Grouting and Sealing of Cracks
Grouting and sealing can be used where structural repair is not necessary. This remedial repair method involves enlarging the crack along the affected surface and then filling and sealing it with a suitable joint sealant.
Filling of Cracks
Concrete cracks can be filled using masonry crack filler. Very small cracks, such as hairline cracks, can be repaired using a concrete patching compound, which is applied over the crack and smoothed with a putty knife or trowel.
Concrete Spalling Repair
Remove the spalled concrete to expose the corroded steel bars. Next, remove the rust by using a wire brush and then coat the exposed steel bars with anti-corrosion treatment. Patched back with a non-shrink repair mortar reinforced with fibre.
