Its strength and bond with concrete greatly exceed the strength of the concrete itself. And the high bond and tensile strengths of epoxy prevents further elongation and yawning of structural cracks. However, epoxy cannot hold the whole structure together. Unless the underlying cause of the structural stress is resolved, a new crac
