Why commercial concrete breaks down
Spalls over rusting steel
As steel rusts it swells: NRMCA puts rust at two to four times the steel's own volume, enough stress to crack off the concrete cover. Chlorides, such as deicing salts, set off that corrosion more often than carbonation does.
Cracked slabs and failed lot joints
NRMCA's list of common cracks includes ones from improper jointing, missing isolation joints and settlement, so a repair starts with the cause. A crack through the full slab is beyond a partial-depth patch, the American Concrete Pavement Association notes. Home drives and walks are on our concrete repair for homes page.
Trip edges on the public sidewalk
Waco's sidewalk notes allow no vertical change in level greater than ¼ inch. In infill areas, walks showing what the code calls "excessive cracking or significant vertical displacement at joints or cracks" must be repaired or replaced by the developer, owner or builder, after a permit from the city engineer.

Sound and saw
ACI's spall-repair bulletin starts by sounding for hollow, delaminated areas, then saw-cuts a simple outline no deeper than the cover over the steel.
Break out and check the bars
Unsound concrete comes out with 15- or 30-pound jackhammers, leaving about ¾ inch of clearance around corroded bars. Where those bars have lost cross-section, ACI says to consult a structural engineer.
Clean, place and test
After cleaning by high-pressure water or abrasive blasting, new concrete goes in, and a pull-off test checks the bond; ACI recommends a target above 150 psi.

Commercial concrete repair questions
How to repair peeling concrete?
Find out what is peeling first. A delaminated top layer, typically ⅛ to ¼ inch thick, can be patched once it is removed and the concrete under it cleaned, NRMCA says; extensive delamination may need grinding and a new overlay. Light or moderate scaling takes a thin bonded resurfacing, which won't match the old color.
Can spalled balconies and interior floors be repaired the same way?
Yes. ACI wrote its spall-repair bulletin for horizontal surfaces such as structural slabs, exterior slabs on ground, balconies and interior floors, so the three steps above cover each of them.
Can a spalled parking lot be patched instead of replaced?
Often, if the damage is shallow. ACPA allows a partial-depth repair only where the damage reaches no deeper than one-third to one-half of the slab thickness and leaves no reinforcing steel or load transfer devices exposed. The Federal Highway Administration limits them to the top third, short of the dowel bars.
