A core form device including a circular plate and a plurality of bendable arms extending from the circular plate which when bent about the circular plate form the core form device.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for accurately modifying a concrete slab on subsided ground by injecting an expandable resin below the concrete slab more than once, which also allows for easy control of the work process. The method of the present invention as a means for resolution includes performing the following steps: on a concrete slab in an area including a region where ground subsidence has occurred, determining points to drill injection holes for injecting an expandable resin at a pitch of 0.5 to 2.0 m in a grid pattern or a staggered pattern; injecting an expandable resin below a point where the subsidence of the concrete slab is severest and expanding the expandable resin to push up the concrete slab at most 30 mm more than once.

The present apparatus and method relates in general to sealing a hole in a floor with a precast plug. A precast plug is created by pouring a wet aggregate mix into a form mold and thereafter inserting a pre formed rod into the uncured mixture, positioning it such that the center of the rod rests in the center of the form mold and the ends of the rod extend outward near the top of the form mold. The mix is then cured. The precast plug may then be transported to the hole that it is destined to fix. Grooves may be carved on either side of the hole to accommodate the rod's ends. The interior of the hole and the exterior of the plug may then be covered with a sealant, after which the plug may be inserted into the hole. Once the sealant cures, the hole is fully repaired.

Disclosed is a method, process and system for sealing cracks in concrete substrates such as walls and floors. A plurality of holes are drilled through the concrete substrate, with at least one hole on each opposing side of the crack. Then a polymer rubber gel that is thick enough to not flow at room temperature (e.g. comprising 99% solids) is heated in a tank to an elevated temperature (e.g. 120-200° F.). Next, the heated polymer rubber gel is pumped in the heated state through one of the holes in the concrete. The pumping continues until the polymer rubber gel is observed exiting a second drilled hole that is spaced apart from the injecting hole. The polymer rubber gel rapidly cools and solidifies, thereby forming a waterproofing membrane that seals the crack(s).

A hole repair assembly includes a support. A connector is fastenable to the support. A closure can connect to the support with the connector. The support, connector and closure are configured so that the support and the closure can be connected and spaced from each other with the connector. One or more retaining members are arranged on one or both of the support and the connector to extend from the connector.

A construction process for enhancing or repairing a concrete floor structure that includes a carbon fiber grid as a reinforcement component is disclosed. The process includes forming a trench at a top surface of the concrete floor structure, and placing a reinforcement material in the formed trench. Then, a concrete bonding agent is applied into the trench. Then, the trench is filled with concrete. As a result, the concrete floor structure is enhanced or repaired to have at least one additional reinforcement component other than the carbon fiber grid.

A method and arrangement for drying a water damaged sandwiched floor structure including a top concrete layer, an air permeable isolating layer and a concrete subfloor, comprising providing an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening through the concrete layer, and continuously in a closed loop flowing air through the isolating layer via the openings by a blower and a dehumidifier in serial connection. According to the invention the blower is a suction blower, whereby air is drawn from the outlet opening by the suction blower, and dry air is forced into the inlet opening by the dehumidifier.
