2. Crack Pattern & Location

Repairing the Rebar:

If the rebar is corroded, it may need to be repaired or replaced.

Use the angle grinder to cut a "V" groove along the entire length of the crack. The groove should be approximately 1/4 inch wide at the top and 1/4 inch deep. This creates a mechanical key for the repair material. toh rebar crack

2. Inadequate Concrete Cover

If the crack is spalled (concrete has popped out), use a hammer and chisel to remove all loose, delaminated concrete until you reach solid, sound material. You will likely expose the rebar itself. The groove should be approximately 1/4 inch wide
