Original Abstract

A biochemically modified sodium silicate solution forms a waterproofing layer in a concrete surface that provides long-term durability against water and salt solutions. It penetrates into concrete and reacts with calcium hydroxide and water to form a calcium silicate gel complex in cracks and pores. Properties of the surface waterproofing layer such as compressive, tensile strengths and the cumulative volume of pores are described.
