Crack repairs to concrete

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

Been a few weeks since i last posted, so thought it was about time ;)

 

I recently noticed a few cracks in one of the concrete beams below our rear garden pathway. Tbh, it's probably been there for quite a while - but once seen it's one of those things you can't un-see. It's something i plan to monitor over time....

 

However, if the need arises to fix this, then i'd really appreciate your advice on this, please. A little bit of info which might be useful to you guys: the cracks are part of a load bearing concrete beam, which certainly seems in general good repair. It's exposed to the elements, so any repairs would need to stand up to rain, frost and shine

 

Questions:

  • What would you recommend to use please? (assuming you guys probably recommend some sort of filler, of course!) - feel free to list any products you've used
  • Would you angle-grind a shallow trench in the concrete to improve application of any filler?
  • Am i right in thinking there are some fillers that also offer some level of structural benefit?

 

Many thanks for your time as always
