Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Voids in at least a part of an artificial or natural structure adjacent an exposed surface of the structure are filled with hardenable material to strengthen the structure by closely fitting over the exposed surface a flexible fluid-impermeable covering having adjacent its boundary edges an endless hollow wall that surrounds and opens towards said covered surface and sealing boundary edges of the covering to the structure to hollow walls. Air and any other fluid is evacuated from the hollow wall and from voids adjacent said covered surface and hardenable material in a liquid or semi-liquid state is allowed to enter into the evacuated voids until the hardenable material appears at openings of voids in said covered surface. The hardenable material is then allowed to set.

Description
~o5~710~i8 This invention relates to artificial and natural structures built up of or comprising a plurality of separately formed bodies of manufactured or natural material or consisting of a single body of concrete or of rock, granite or other material in its natural state.
Structures fabricated from or comprising a plurality of separately formed bodies include the walls of buildings, the abutments and piers of bridges, chimneys, brick-lined tunnels, ducts, drains and sewers, retaining walls, foundations, monuments, sculptures, archaeological remains, and other structures built up of or comprising bricks, rocks, stones, granite,timber or other building materials with or without interposed mortar or other hardenable material. Single bodies of concrete or other materials include roads, airfield runways, foundations of heavy machinery, statues and sculptures. All such artificial and natural structures will, for convenience, hereinafter be referred to as "artificial or natural structures of the king specified".
Crumbling and similar deterioration of the material or materials of artificial or natural structures of the kind specified can be regarded as the propagation of cracks or other voids in the material that results in a complexity of interconnected fissures. The presence of cracks or other voids in an artificial or natural structure not only lowers its strength but jeopardises the structure further should these cracks or other voids propagate.
. , . , :.. ,`~: - -- 1~.

,;
Cracks and other voids in a structure act as sources of stress and can cause high stress concentrations.
Moreover, if the cracks or other voids open into a surface of the structure that is exposed to the weather or if the or each material of the structure is itself of a porous nature, deterioration of the structure may ~ -arisé from weathering. Thus, unless a structure having cracks, pores or other voids in it is repaired and/or strengthened, and/or unless at least part of a structure ad~acent the or each exposed surface is rendered substantially non-porous. it may only be a question of time before the structure collapses, crumbles or otherwise fails.
The present invention is concerned with a method of introducing a hardenable material in a liquid or semi-liquid state into cracks or other voids in at least a part of an artificial or natural structure of the kind specified ad~acent an exposed surface of the structure.
According to the present invention, the method comprises closely fitting over the exposed surface a flexible fluid-impermeable covering having adjacent its boundary edges an endless hollow wall that surrounds and opens towards said covered surface; directly or indirectly sealing boundary edges of the covering to the structure to form a substantially fluid-tight enclosure incorporating the hollow wall; evacuating air and any other fluid from the hollow wall and from cracks and other voids adjacent .

' said cove ed surface; allowing hardenable material in a liquid or semi-liquid state to enter into the evacuated cracks or -other voids unti] the hardenable material appears at the openings of cracks and voids in said covered surface;
and permitting or causing the hardenable material to set.
Since, during introduction of hardenable ~-material into the evacuated cracks or other voids adjacent the surface, the substantially fluid-tight enclosure is completely bounded by an evacuated hollow wall, any air or other fluid leaklng through cracks and voids in the structure that extend under the covering from beyond its boundary edges will enter the evacuated hollow wall from where such air and other fluid will be evacuated. As a result, the risk that hardenable mat~rial introduced into the cracks and other voids adjacent the covered surface will be contaminated by bubbles of air or other fluid leaking from cracks and other voids outside the boundary edges of the flexible fluid-impermeable covering is substantialiy reduced.
The endless hollow wall may be an integral part of the flexible fluid-impermeable covering but, preferably, the hollow wall is fo~med by applying over the boundary edges of the covering, or under the covering near, but spaced from, its boundary edges, a separately formed endless preformed member of substantially channel-shaped cross-section.
Where the endless preformed member is applied over the boundary edges of the covering it will be sealed to the covering and to the structure; where the endless preformed member is - , . . , .................. , . , : -' . :, ' ' . -, ~ ''' ' - - ~' '' - '' . ~ - . . . - : . .: - , - , applied under the covering, the extreme boundary edges of the covering may be sealed to the structure by a coating of hardenable material or by adhesive tape.
Evacuation of the closely fitting, flexible fluid-impermeable covering and of the endless hollow wall is preferably effected by at least one vacuum pump and/or at least one air compressor and associated venturi suctlon ejector. Preferably the or each vacuum pump or air compressor and associated venturi suction ejector is connected to an outlet in the hollow wall and at least one source o~ hardenable material in a liquid or semi-liquid state is connected to an inlet or inlets in the covering.
The invention also includes apparatus for use in the method as hereinbefore described, which apparatus comprises a flexible sheet of fluid-impermeable material having adjacent its boundary edges an endless wall of "~ substantially channel-shaped cross-section; at least one port in the endless wall for extraction of air and other fluid and at least one port in the part of the sheet bounded by the endless wall for injection of hardenable materi~ in a ]iquid or semi-liquid state.
The endless wall may be an integral part of the sheet but preferably it comprises a separately formed endless preformed member of channel-shaped cross-section made of fluid-impermeable material. The endless preformed member may be built up of at least two preformed `. , :; .: ~ :

- 6 - 1057~68 --e]ongate members of channel-shaped cross-section conncc-ted end-to-end. Where the endless preformed member is to be applied over the boundary edges of the sheet it will carry, at the longitudinal edges of its side walls, means that will make a substantially fluid-tight seal with a surface to which the member is applied when the hollow wall is evacuated. Such means preferably comprises a strip of rubber or other compressible material. --- The present invention is especially, but not exclusively, suitable for use in repairing or restoring ~, -- .

suitable for use in repairing or restoring a damaged area of a face of a building.
The invention is further illustrated by a description, by way of examPle, of two methods of repairing a damaged area of the surface of a road, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which;
Figure l is a plan view of the apparatus employed in the first method;
Figure 2 is a sectional view of the apparatus taken on the line II-II in Figure 1, and -F`igure 3 is a fragmental cross-sectional view of app~ratus employed in the second method.

Positioned under a part of the sheet 1 at a position near to, but spaced from, the boundary edges of the sheet is an endless hollow wall 2 built up of a number of preformed elongate members of channel-shaped cross-section connected end-to-end which are arranged with the longitudinal edges of their side walls bearing against the surface of the road R and which positively space said part of the sheet from the road surface. An outlet 3 in the hollow wall 2 is connected to a vacuum ;
pump (not shown) and an inlet 4 in the sheet 1 is connected to a source of hardenable material. The extreme edges of the sheet 1 are sealed to the road surface by a coating 5 of hardenable material.
In operation, air and other fluid is evacuated from cracks and other voids adjacent the road surface covered by the sheet 1 and from the hollow wall 2 and, when the air and other fluid has ~eer. removed, hardenable material in a liquid state is introduced into the evacuated cracks and other voids through the inlet 4. Any air or other fluid that may qeak through cracks and other voids in the road R that extend under the sheet 1 from beyond its boundary edges will enter the hollow wall 2 and be extracted by the vacuum pump. When the cracks and other voids are filled with hardenable material, usually indicated by flow of hardenable material from the cracks and other voids opening into that par-t of the road surface under the :

hollow wall 2, the vacuum pump is switched off, the source of hardenable material is disengaged and the hardenable material in the cracks and other voids is permitted to set. The sheet 1 and the hollow wall 2 are then removed.
In the second method using the apparatus shown in Figure 3, the boundary edges of a sheet 11 of polyethylene, that has been laid over that part of the surface of a road R to be repaired, are arranged under an endless hollow wall 12 built up of a number of preformed elongate members of semi-circular cross-section made of polyethylene. The longitudinal side walls of these members carry strips 15 of rubber. An outlet 13 in the hollow wall 12 is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown);
an inlet tnot shown) in the sheet 11 is connected to a source of hardenable material. In this case, when air and other fluid is evacuated from cracks and other voids ad~acent the road surface under the sheet 11 and from the hollow wall 12, the rubber strips 15 effect substantially fluid-tight seals with the road surface. The further steps in this method of repairing a road surface are the same as the corresponding steps in the method described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
