Crack Free Repairs with the BaenzigerBlockThe
basics of successful concrete repair
  • A concrete repair mortar has to fulfill the
    requirements which are necessary
  • to support the existing damaged concrete
    structure regarding-
  • Strengths (compressive, flexural, tensile)
  • Bond to substrate (gt 1.5 MPa)
  • Durability (a part of sustainability)
  • Protection
  • Elastic modulus (e.g mortars with polymeric
    binder)
  • Cracking

But the most important requirement is
Workability, placement only mortars with
excellent processing can reach the high
expectations
Bad Workability, placement Bad Quality

The crack development of cement mortars is
different! Some mortars are cracking within the
first 24 hours others just start to crack after
a few days or a few weeks! From our long term
experience we knowThe cracking behavior of
cement concrete repair mortars should be tested
up to one year!

Crack evolution over time
  • The BaenzigerBlock enables a lot of additional
    information
  • date when the cracks appears
  • wideness of the cracks and wideness progress
  • crack development in length
  • numbers of cracks and development of cracks over
    time
  • type of cracks, e.g. single crack, spider web
    cracks
  • sensitivity of crack behavior, at corners, at
    edges on full surface etc.
  • loss of bond (de lamination) of the substrate
    due internal strengths and restricted shrinkage

The BaenzigerBlock reflects the reality! But the
final approval of the cracking performance Is
always the application on a real structure!

THE EFFECT OF CONCRETE SUBSTRATE STRENGTH ON THE
ADHESION PROPERTIES OF POLYMER MODIFIED REPAIR
MATERIALS A.J.C. Jooste Rand Afrikaans University
ABSTRACT. It is a known fact that the preparation
of the concrete substrate plays an important role
on the adhesion properties of polymer modified
repair materials. Some uncertainty exist as to
the influence of the concrete substrate strength
on the adhesion properties of concrete repair
materials. This paper reports on research done at
the Rand Afrikaans University (South Africa), to
investigate the influence of concrete substrate
strength on the bonding properties of various
repair materials. Different concrete substrate
strengths were simulated by using the Banziger
test block (20, 30 and 40 MPa). On these blocks
seven different repair materials, from three
different manufacturers, were placed. The
placing specifications of the manufacturers were
strictly followed. The samples were fully cured
for 28 days, during which the crack behaviour was
observed at 1, 7 ,14 and 28 days. The influence
of concrete substrate strength on crack behaviour
was experimentally investigated. By determining
the bonding strength between repair material and
concrete after 28 days, the influence of concrete
strength on bonding strength was investigated.
To compare practise with laboratory work a trial
repair was done on a part of the R.A.U. complex.
This repair was evaluated in the same manner as
the Banziger test blocks. An important
conclusion drawn from the observations, is that
the actual method of substrate preparation plays
an important role in determining bond strength.
In substrates of low strengths, micro-cracks are
easily formed. These cracks lead to reduced
bonding strengths.

Of course a block of steel would not show similar

investigations Alternative Crack Testing Method
based on our experiences
  • Target smaller, less weight, reliable,
    reproducible
  • Correlation
  • Measuring cracking time on different devices

Steel Ring Test 32 days 5-6 days
BaenzigerBlock 10-17 days 9-11 days
Alternative Laboratory Test Method of Sika 14 days 9-11 days

conditions
Steel has no surface roughness, does not breath
and does not absorb water of the repair mortar

Crack Free Repairs with the BaenzigerBlockConclus
ion of laboratory investigations, Alternative
Crack Testing Method based on our experiences
  • Based on fundamental research of Technology
    Center
  • Improved lab test equipment
  • Possibility to identify directly which
    formulation parameters impact cracking
  • Final laboratory testing will still involve
    BaenzigerBlock
  • The final market release of a concrete repair
    mortar is still pending on the performance of
    selective applications on job site!

45
Crack Free Repairs with the BaenzigerBlockSummary
of over 15 years experience
  • During the past 20 years we made big improvements
    and gained more knowledge regarding cracking
    behavior of cement mortars!
  • Cracking of mortars is influenced by different
    parameters
  • Shrinkage of mortar
  • Environmental conditions
  • Concrete Substrate
  • Application and placement quality
  • Relaxation properties of the mortar
  • We have learned to formulate low (no) cracking
    mortars
  • We introduced the BaenzigerBlock in all
    development centers around the globe
  • It is our best tool for benchmarking different
    formulations or comparisons with competitors
    products
  • The BaenzigerBlock is one of the best tool to
    test the mortar due to the close simulation of a
    real of concrete repair!

46
Crack Free Repairs with the BaenzigerBlockOutlook
2020
  • Due to high investments in infrastructures over
    the past decades, costs for maintenance and
    refurbishment of all (concrete) structures will
    increase dramatically!
  • The costs have already exceeded the budgets of
    many states!
  • Lack of maintenance is reality
  • Examples of collapses we see every day in the
    news
  • Functioning infrastructures are the backbone of
    every economy
  • New structures must have high sustainability and
    durability
  • The repair and protection of existing structures
    requires long lasting and sustainable methods
  • Sustainability is like a plant, it starts very
    small and is more important and more powerful
    with the age!
  • only if all components of a system meet the
    requirements of sustainability and durability,
    the overall system can meet this requirement
    also!
  • It is one of our main tasks to invest in products
    which align with Sustainability!
