High Strength Concrete Patch

[Jettone]

I need some type of high strength filler to patch "ruts" in concrete caused by rolling some heavy test beds on existing concrete. These ruts are starting to cause problems with our equipment and I would rather patch the ruts rather than replace everything.

thanks.

You will not likely find a patching material that will perform satisfactorily under such heavy loads. If you are crushing the concrete and causing ruts, you need to mitigate the contact pressure.

I would suggest steel plates. They can be in-set into the floor by routing or scabbling, and bonded with epoxy, which has a high strength.

and for real heavy useage, I've seen steel rails cast into the concrete to form a 'running surface'.

Good point, dik!
