Concrete Failures Lab
Explore. Understand. Prevent.
A forensic library of every way concrete repairs fail in the field — and the magnesium chemistry that engineers each failure mode out of the system.
Failure Modes
Case File · COLD-JOINTS
Cold Joints
When a fresh pour meets a partially-cured pour, no chemical bond forms. The joint becomes the weakest line in the slab.
Traditional Repair
- ✕Mechanical bond only
- ✕Primer-dependent
- ✕First failure point under load
ZERITHON System
- ✓Magnesium ionic bond fuses across the joint
- ✓No primer required
- ✓Joint becomes stronger than the host
