1. A method for improving the transference of a load from a first slab to a second slab across a joint between said first and second slabs, comprising the steps of:
- cutting a slot into said first and said second slabs, said slot extending generally perpendicular to said joint;
integrally filling said slot and said joint with polymer concrete, thereby creating a single, integral structure having a length extending the length of said joint.

Abstract
A method for restoring load transfer capability across a joint between two adjacent concrete slabs includes cutting a slot perpendicularly to the joint and extending into each of the adjoining slabs. The slot and joint are then integrally filled with polymer concrete to tie the slabs together. A joint tie may be placed in the slot and encased by the polymer concrete when restoring load transfer capability.
