a) conditions of water-leakage cracks;

b) performance requirements for repair materials;

c) different types of repair materials (grouts);

d) procedures followed to select the appropriate repair materials;

e) execution of different types of repair methods;

f) performance assessments of applied materials and methods;

g) data collection.
