Numerically obtained crack pattern and maximum crack widths due to the pressure imposed by expanding bar in repair systems and influence of different types of repair materials; top: repair material; bottom: substrate (deformation scaled 20x; note that for different samples maximum crack widths are different).
(a) Repair mortar, rough surface. Interface strength of 1 MPa. Imposed pressure of 26 MPa
(b) SHCC, rough surface. Interface strength of 1 MPa. Imposed pressure of 26 MPa
