Abstract: Epoxy resins have emerged as a reliable solution for repairing and preventing cracks in concrete structures, offering enhanced durability, strength, and resistance to environmental factors (Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2021). This research explores the application of epoxy in mitigating the effects of concrete cracking, focusing on the effectiveness of epoxy injection techniques, the benefits of epoxy coatings, and the impact on concrete’s structural integrity (Construction and Building Materials, 2019). The study examines various epoxy formulations, surface preparation techniques, and their performance in different environmental conditions. Epoxy’s ability to bond tightly with concrete, restore load-bearing capacity, and provide waterproofing makes it a superior choice for both residential and industrial concrete repairs (Construction Technology Reviews, 2020). The findings suggest that, while epoxy provides long-term benefits, proper application methods and environmental considerations are critical for maximizing its effectiveness.
Keywords: concrete structures, concrete cracking, durability, strength.
