1.0 Brief introduction
Cracks will occur on roadway, bridge, tunnel, dam and other
building because building aging (efflorescence, ultraviolet
radiation, acid rain action), inappropriate design, improper
material usage when changing load, bad construction, asymmetric
sinking of base, earthquake, fire etc.
Influence that cracks cause to building is important. With
time passing and because of harmful substance inrushing, cracks
enlarge and become bad gradually. Then, building' performance
of usage will play down and life of service will shorten,
Even it will cause collapse of building, and become unsafe.

1.1 Influence that cracks
cause to building
Influence that cracks cause to building is divided up five
aspects:
1. Influence that cracks cause to rigidity of whole structure
When cracks appear, structure rigidity, shear strength, tension
strength and moment strength will lack. Stress will be distributed
again, and destroy continually even members will collapse.
2. Rigidity of concrete decrease
Cracks make available section of member damage and stiffness
of section lack, so, flection of member increase and the probability
of shake failure will enhance. At one time, because structure
rigidity reduce, stress will be distributed again that make
cracks enlarge and develop continually. When cracks run through
members, section rigidity of concrete will be out of action
and steel bars will support all loads, and members are in
the danger of collapse.
3.Strength of steel bars decrease
Cracks make strength of steel bars decrease, and besides,
they make steel bars rust, hydrogenate and embrittle, and
decrease grasp force between steel bars and concrete, decrease
tension strength of steel bars too. Hydrogenation and embritlement
can make ductibility of bars lower and bars have a tendence
to be similar with to brittle material, so, it is dangerous
that there is a warning before members failure.
4.Water-seal performance reducing
As a result of water-seal performance' falling quickly, acid
and alkali stuff corrade into concrete member that make steel
bars rust quickly and make concrete acid. So building will
be damaged highly.
5.Influence that cracks cause to permanence
Influence that cracks cause to permanence is mainly to make
concrete acid quickly and make steel bars rust quickly, and
decorated layer and protected layer flake off because concrete
have gone moldy by leaking and seeping, then, life of building
will become short. So, in order to hold out safety and life
of building, we must repair cracks. Reference to standard

1.2 Form of cracks and
repair occasion
Generally, cracks are static or dynamic. It is easy to deal
with static cracks, because the width and depth of cracks is
stable, and we may make any treatment according to different
impersonal factors and material. As for dynamic cracks, at first,
we should get rid of those factors what caused cracks, or set
up flex-sew equipment to make cracks be controlled to avoid
new cracks by new stress. Then, we should treat them according
to the method of static cracks treatment to insure design life
and safety of structures.
So, much investigation and research should be finished before
cracks come into being, and present treatment method in time
to avoid serious aftereffects.
|
1.3 Usual cracks repair
methods
Repair methods were divided into surface repair and interior
injecting repair according to different repair position, or
dry work and high wet work (or heavy leak). The repair effect
is influenced by materials and tools used. So, it can't be neglect
how to choose appropriate materials and tools.
Usual cracks repair methods are divided:
1.Continual pressure injecting method
We should inject material into members with continual pressure
(0.2mpa ~ 0.5mpa) in limited time. Our material can seep through
thin, deep cracks because they is high fluidity (low viscidity),
non-shrinking, high adhesive strength, high compressive strength,
high bend strength and a long time used. And they can fill up
cracks. The method often is used in many main structures that
need to require safety
2.High-pressure injecting method
We should inject material into members with high pressure
(20mpa ~ 40mpa) in limited time. The method is suitable to
continual wall of the underground, and we may use various
materials according to spots.
3.V-Cut cracks repair method
Cut a hole or a V-groove with diamond cut-machine; then, fill
it up with elastic paint or epoxy resin; finally, cover the
work surface with glass fiber or elastic paint. The method
often is used in brick wall,cellularity concrete and dry-shrinking
cracks between partition and concrete.

2.1.3 Dual axes continual-pressure injector AE150
AE150 repair method is the best method to repair cracks with
injector among all methods of cracks repair in important structures.
Its advantages are stated:
- Reagent is filled up well according to graduation against
waste of reagent
- Press well, and press according to design with AE153
- The dosage injected can be measure accurately for being
checked up
- Replacing injectors easily
- The process of pressing is easy to operate, and only need
to hang AE153
- Continual pressure make reagent go deep into minute cracks,
and have no fake saturation
- The injecting pressure is lower than concrete strength,
and don't damage building again.

2.1.4 Dual axes continual-pressure injector base AE151
Used in common concrete plane for cracks injecting.

2.1.5 Dual axes continual-pressure injector right-angle
base AE152
Used in common concrete vertical angle for cracks injecting.

2.1.6 Dual axes continual-pressure injector rubber band
AE153 for pressing
Used for dual axes continual-pressure injector AE150, it
has a strength of 0.5kg/cm2/bar when it is pulled to 16cm
that is the length between two hooks of injector when reagent
was filled 30ml.
2.1.7 Super- particulate non-shrinking cement AC810
Used in common concrete when the width of cracks is more
than 1.5mm.
It is difficult to go deep into thin-sand layer whose infiltration
coefficient is lower than 5×10cm/s to common cement slurry,
and can't go deep into cracks whose width is lower than 0.2mm
too, because the diameter of common cement granule is between
40μm and 100μm.
The diameter of 50% super-particulate cement granule is between
4μm and 6μm, and the biggest is 30μm, and compare-surface
area is 8000cm2/g. They are much smaller than common cement'
diameter, so, super-particulate cement can be injected well
into small cracks whose infiltration coefficient is 10-3~10-4cm/s.

AS200, AS185, AS155, AS156, AS157, AS158
|
|
2.2.1 high-pressure injector AS200
Operate it with electric drill with high torsion and low
rotate speed(750W,280∼650r.p.m), and have a injecting pressure
of 6000psi.
So, it is propitious to inject resin into structure quickly,
and the effect is different if injection is different.

|
2.2.2 High-pressure stop control injector pinhead AS185
Fix AS185 hardly in the hole after completed drilling, then,
connect AS186 and high-pressure pipe AS200. Resin is control
to can't backwash because of stop-backwash installation.
