Fresh concrete of the same grade as the surrounding concrete shall be used to fill in the void. The repair shall be water cured along with the parent concrete. The surface finishes to the repair shall be as the same standard as the surrounding concrete. G. Plastic settlement cracks Cracking caused by settlement of concrete usually in deep lifts or at changes in section can result in a series of cracks which mirror the reinforcement pattern in horizontal surfaces or appear to arch on vertical surfaces. Any such cracks should be chased out to a depth of 10- 15mm and filled with an epoxy mortar such as Nitomortar FC as in A above. H. Pourous / spongy surface Where inadequate vibration and poor finishing techniques have caused excessive bleeding, horizontal surfaces can appear spongy and pourous. In this case all affected surfaces should be ground back to good concrete usually only 2-3mm below the surface. The surface should then be reinstated using Nitomortar as in A above. This type of defect often occurs with plastic settlement cracks which should be treated as In G above.
