Abstract
Test series have boon performed on concrete specimens containing bendi ng cracks. The specimens were subject to fluid penetration. Organic fl uids (acetone, n-decane, n-heptane) have been used. In a second series , beams were precracked. The cracks were injected by epoxy or polyuret hane resin. After 10,000 loading cycles, organic fluids could penetrat e into the concrete. Results are presented and discussed. Suggestions for the application in engineering practice are given.
