Causes of cracks on concrete surfaces and ways to eliminate them

Concrete is a material without which it is impossible to imagine the construction of any object. With proper pouring, hardening and operation, a concrete / reinforced concrete structure will serve you not for tens, but for hundreds of years.

But, unfortunately, not everyone adheres to the technology of working with concrete, as a result of which it begins to crumble and become covered with cracks.

What are the causes of cracks on concrete?

In fact, there are hundreds of reasons for the appearance of cracks: from the effects of natural factors to negligent human treatment during repair and construction work. Among the most common are the following:

  • Incorrect proportions in the preparation of concrete mix
  • Rapid moisture loss of the concrete mix during drying
  • The temperature is too high when pouring the mixture
  • The temperature is too low when pouring the mixture
  • Too much layer of concrete mix
  • The area is too large when pouring the mixture
  • It is too late to perform work on dividing the concrete structure into seams
  • Non-compliance with all the rules when dividing into seams of a concrete structure
  • Ignoring the study of the features of the land plot before pouring concrete
  • Non-compliance with reinforcement technology.


Of course, there are many more reasons for cracks in concrete, so it is necessary to consult with professionals and initially perform all the work correctly. But if it has already happened that you missed some point and noticed that cracks began to appear in the concrete, then it is better to eliminate them at the initial stage and high-quality repair mixes will help you with this.

How and with what material can cracks in concrete be quickly and reliably eliminated?

For quick sealing of cracks in concrete, use the universal repair mix Teknorep 300, which is applied to vertical and horizontal surfaces. The material can be used to eliminate any defects in concrete with a thickness of 10 mm to 40 mm.

In addition to eliminating cracks, with the help of Teknorep 300, it is possible to fill holes in reinforced concrete structures after dismantling the tie screws, and the material is also suitable for repairing surfaces after removing the formwork.


 

What are the advantages of Teknorep 300 repair mix?

Among the advantages repair mixture Teknorep 300 will be allocated:

  • high compressive strength – more than 60 N/mm2
  • high adhesive strength – more than 2 N/mm2
  • resistance to moisture
  • resistance to sulfates
  • resistance to chlorine
  • resistance to concrete carbonation
  • resistance to freezing and thawing cycles.

 

24 hours after sealing the cracks with the universal Teknorep 300 mixture, your concrete surface will be as good as new.
