Abstract:  Concrete beams with simulated cracks were epoxy-injected, using three 
commercially available epoxy compounds. The repaired beams were then exposed to a 
heat-cool cyclic regime. These beams were tested in flexure, where the epoxy concrete 
interface was subjected to tensile stresses. In addition, concrete cylinders with embedded 
inclined cracks were repaired by the same epoxy compounds, exposed to similar heat-
cool cyclic regime, and tested in compression, where the epoxy-concrete interface was 
subjected to combined compressive and shear stresses. Results obtained from these tests 
indicated that the alternate heating and cooling has a detrimental effect on the 
performance of bond between epoxy and concrete.
