  2. Concrete sealer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_sealer

    Concrete sealers are applied to concrete to protect it from surface damage, corrosion, and staining. They either block the pores in the concrete to reduce absorption of water and salts or form an impermeable layer which prevents such materials from passing.

  3. Polished concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polished_concrete

    A reading below this measure means the floor is soft and can crack under pressure. The next step is the initial grinding. In this step, low grit diamonds (e.g. 16- to 20-grit) are used to grind down all uneven surface until the floor is flat. [2] The next step is patching. Normally, all concrete floors have cracks.

  4. Sealant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealant

    Self-leveling silicone firestop system used around pipe through-penetration in a two-hour fire-resistance rated concrete floor assembly. Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through openings in materials, [1] a type of mechanical seal.

  5. Self-healing concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-healing_concrete

    Autogenous self-healing crack. Self-healing concrete is characterized as the capability of concrete to fix its cracks on its own autogenously or autonomously. It not only seals the cracks but also partially or entirely recovers the mechanical properties of the structural elements. This kind of concrete is also known as self-repairing concrete.

  6. Alkali–silica reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali–silica_reaction

    Typical crack pattern of the alkali-silica reaction (ASR). The gel exudations through the concrete cracks have a characteristic yellow color and a high pH. The fatty aspect of the exudations imbibing the concrete porosity along the cracks is also a distinctive feature of ASR. The alkali-silica reaction as a chemical cycle process

  7. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

    The curing of concrete when it continues to harden after its initial setting and progressively develops its mechanical strength is a critical phase to avoid unwanted cracks in concrete. Depending on the temperature (summer or winter conditions) and thus on the cement hydration kinetics controlling the setting and hardening rate of concrete ...
