The damaged part of the timber end, or centre, is replaced by a poured Epoxy Grout, inside which a number of carefully specified rods called 'shear connectors', made of either steel or epoxy/glass, are embedded. The pour is contained in a 'shutter' box, which can be waxed for subsequent removal or can be a permanent part of the repair.
