How to Repair Shrinkage Cracks on a Concrete Slab

[@adwaitagyey9961]

Nice explanation with real pics..

[@kenlyneham4105]

After filling the cracks, what happens to the reinforcing steel in the middle of the slab when water comes up from below? I know what happens, it will corrode, causing concrete cancer, where in time as the rust grows, its pressure will cause the slow explosion of the concrete. There is only one sure way of repair and that is using high pressure injection of two part polyurethane or epoxy resin.

what is the name of a suitable filling material? atleast mention one that you used

[@WarunaThejana]

Sure fill J52

[@KamleshKumar-bn7zi]

but which material fills

[@WarunaThejana]

see our reply to other comments. we cannot include it in the video as we are not promoting any stuff here .Thanks for your comments

[@sameoureyejq4786]

The problem there is poor quality control. The fix is epoxy and a long talk. Even tho the concrete is cracked what you don't see is that it locks together like puzzle pieces so as long as the steel reinforcing is protected from rusting to maintain tensile strength the crack is only cosmetic.

[@jeffreymelton2200]

what is the and result. you failed to mention. Btw how is filling the cracks with coca cola going to help anything?

[@WarunaThejana]

itz not coca cloa... lol. i didn't mention the product name because i'm not advertising any specific brands.. we used sure fill J52 If it helps ....

[@mgr5550]

"Its not coca cola", oh hes so daft he took your sarcastic remark seriously. This is the problem with people in this country.

[@JMEMantzel]

Fill with "suitable filling material"?? Really?

[@WarunaThejana]

Sure fill J52

[@mavrislaw9896]

Yes and buy stocks when they are low and sell them high so you can "maximize profit"

[@rajuthapamagar1438]

What is the filling material used ?

[@WarunaThejana]

Sure fill J52

[@digitalgraphics4176]

Poor presentation

[@randylemons5196]

What kind of lame ass applicator is this? And what is being poured into crack?

[@WarunaThejana]

we used Sure fill J52 as the filling material . check the specifications if you are in doubt.

[@mgr5550]

Wait. Forget the stupidity in not mentioning what the material was (and oh he was not wanting to advertise any product i believe, bullshit, KZbin is filled with videos advertising products and that's what KZbin is all about, anyway you're trying to bullshit us so we will ignore this) but hes doing this in India, and the material he mentions is available only abroad and is not an Indian product or even readily available here. Maybe he doesnt want to tell us the real material so hes mentioning a a sarcastic fake alternative which cant be gotten hold of.

[@WarunaThejana]

seems like you are too wise and missed the point that you can import materials from overseas.

[@mgr5550]

Oh there are always ways out. But this doesnt justify the silly way the video was shown and shot. Dont bifurcate to "we can import" and all that to try absolving yourself of the basic daftness in this video. And how clever you must be, you suggest importing materials from abroad to seal a friggin crack in the floor.

[@WarunaThejana]

How about you present something better ? Stop complaining and use your time to do some research. This video is about repairing a reinforced concrete slab.Material selection depends on durability requirements. If this is too basic and daft why don't you just skip the video..

[@mgr5550]

Well, you made and presented a video to the PUBLIC. So you have to face any obvious daftness that everyone below is making fun of aka "Fill it with appropriate material" syndrome. So when someone makes a shit bollywood movie and most viewers call it shit then no point telling them "you go make a movie and show me". They dont have to be on youtube or on the screen to be able to judge 'shit'. If you defecate on the road you're the one gonna face criticism. When you put yourself as an expert or claim to teach something you should be correct, i dont have to be an expert to tell that you've presented bullshit. I hope you understand the analogy. You talk about research when you could hardly even name the correct material properly and told people to "go fill it with suitable material" which was defeating the core purpose of this paltry 1:57 minute video. if you had a good education and had some standards of logic & maybe some perfection thrown in (learn from the Japanese) then what im saying would relate. So im not going to bother replying anymore.

[@WarunaThejana]

well you already did waste your time with your racist remarks about Indians.. we pity you for the poor soul that you are.
