CuraTet: A hybrid solution for curing infrastructure cracks

Abstract

This report outlines a successful and effective method for repairing water-leakage cracks in concrete structures. The lack of adequate solutions for water-leakage cracks usually leads to unnecessarily high repair prices, and this remains a problem that requires constant attention. Unfortunately, despite the availability of vast materials and techniques to repair these cracks, the problem still abides. This may be due to the lack of understanding and insufficient knowledge of the influencing factors, causes of the leakage cracks and the properties of the repair materials and techniques. For repairs and remedies to be effective, it is essential that the engineer should have a proper understanding of various causes of occurrence of cracks. The report investigates the existing methods for curing infrastructure cracks and bringing forward a hybrid solution to make it easier and more convenient for the field technicians to detect and repair the water leakage cracks in concrete structures.
