Cracks in a concrete substrate pose a challenge for coatings. Cracks that are not properly identified and addressed can lead to premature failure of the coating. This paper will discuss the forces that cause cracking in concrete structures, as well as crack types and repair techniques.
Before coating concrete, you must first know what the substrate is that you are working on. Since all concrete floors are not the same there is no one, size fits all system. In fact, many buildings will have several different types of concrete floors. Add to that the different mix designs, placement techniques and environmental conditions and you end up with a menagerie of concrete floors exhibiting a wide variety of properties.

This paper will discuss various considerations that should be weighed when writing a specification to line a concrete tank, secondary containment or industrial floor.
Coating and Lining of Concrete requires an understanding of both new and existing concrete substrate conditions. New concrete must be evaluated for surface strength, cracking, and construction defects. In addition, existing concrete must be evaluated for mechanical damage, chemical contamination, and corrosion. Evaluation methods and equipment will be discussed.
