Restoration of reinforced concrete elements even in high thicknesses with thixotropic mortars

Restoring damaged concrete is one of the most frequent interventions. The passage of time, the impact of atmospheric agents and mechanical actions contribute to the degradation of the building which, consequently, requires periodic maintenance. The intervention involves the removal of the damaged concrete, the treatment of the reinforcing bars with anti-corrosive mortar and the reconstruction of the degraded concrete parts with thixotropic mortar applied with a trowel or with a plastering machine. The cycle ends with a smoothing with a single-component mortar applied in two coats and, once the support is cured, with a protective anti-carbonation coating using a single-component elastomeric resin.
