Abstract

Nowadays in all concrete structures, various types of problems occurs due to different reasons such as lower quality of materials used, exposure condition, volume instability ingress of moisture, chemical, and thermal effects etc. These problems lead to crack and further to failure condition, if not repaired or replaced. Replacement of structural members is not feasible and is also quite expensive. Instead of replacing the structural members, there are various techniques by which it can be repaired. Epoxy is the one of them, which is used to repair the cracks by injection techniques or seal the cracks by coating. In this project the efficiency of concrete has been tested against repairing, where the repairing has been done using epoxy. The purpose of thesis is to determine the efficiency of repaired concrete. Epoxy {Sikadur-31(IN)} helps to regain the strength up to 80-85%.
