Structural repair is not a surface issue. Concrete slab, pillar, beam, brick or stone masonry — where the load-bearing structure is damaged, eroded, or its capacity is insufficient, the intervention must meet mechanical performance requirements.
Concrete repair mortars for repairing concrete and concrete surfaces exposed to weather, carbonation, or mechanical impact: systems that can be applied in layers and are chemically compatible with concrete. The composition of the repair mortar cannot be just any cement mortar — differing elasticity and shrinkage cause cracked bonding. Corrosion protection mortar for reinforced concrete corrosion: replacing the carbonated concrete and passivating the steel prevents the spread of corrosion. Fiber reinforcement with diffuse steel fibers inhibits crack propagation where mesh reinforcement cannot be used. Injection treatment with material introduced into porous masonry and cracks addresses voids and internal water penetration — crack injection and wall crack repair are among the most common interventions in old buildings.
Masonry repair mortars function as the matrix material of structural systems: Geocalce and Geolite-based products for reinforcing old brick, stone, and adobe masonry, where the mortar together with the GeoSteel reinforcing mesh forms the composite load-bearing layer. FRP reinforcement is a system based on GeoSteel steel fiber mesh — G600, G1200, G2000, G3300 are meshes with different load capacities for masonry, pillars, and reinforced concrete surfaces. The Geo Grid 120 basalt fiber composite structural mesh offers a corrosion-resistant alternative where steel mesh systems are more cumbersome. The masonry repair mortar and the FRP mesh are not alternatives to each other but two components of the same system.
Old buildings, historic masonry, and earthquake-resistant reinforcement: these cases require a special approach. Masonry repair mortar compatible with the masonry material and the appropriate structural mesh together provide a system that increases load capacity without damaging the building’s structure.
