The application of penetrating compounds for repairing concrete, reinforced concrete and stone structures

Abstract

Repair and protection of structural elements remain a relevant issue throughout the whole period of building operation and maintenance. Housing and public facilities regularly require rehabilitation and major repair. One of the main reasons behind a shorter lifespan of structural elements and units in a building is the impact on them of aggressive liquid and gaseous environments. The application of newly-developed cementitious products with penetrating properties is suggested in order to maintain and restore the protective properties of the concrete and reinforced concrete structures.
