The invention relates to a method involving placing a profile comprising a shape memory alloy in concrete, or roughening the outside of reinforced concrete, and then fixing the profile (2) comprising a shape memory alloy to the structure ( 6) and apply the cementitious matrix to the rough outer side (9) to cover the profile (2). After the cement matrix has been placed, the profile ( 2 ) develops contraction forces and thus tension due to the heat input. Due to the interlocking of the mortar cover (16) with the rough outer side (9) of the structure (6), the mortar cover (16) acts as a reinforcing layer. The profile (2) extends in the outer mortar as reinforcement layer (16) on the outside of the structure along the outer side of the structure inside the mortar or reinforcement layer (16). The structure can also be prepared for prestressing in the equipped mortar or reinforcement by heat input, since the cable (3) is routed from its end area to the outside of the mortar or reinforcement (16) or the end of the cable (3) The area is accessible by removing the insert (5).

A hydrophobic admixture, for cementitious materials such as cement paste, mortar, and concrete, includes solid polymer particles with a coating of hydrophobic agent and surfactant. The solid polymer particles adhere to exterior surfaces of hydrated cement particles in the cement matrix. The solid polymer particles deliver the hydrophobic agent into the cement matrix which is hydrophilic. The hydrophobic agents are distributed uniformly throughout the cement matrix. The solid polymer particles can be crumb rubber particles derived from waste rubber tires, recycled plastics and similar solid materials. The hydrophobic liquid agent is derived from waste lubricant oil, spent motor oil, base oil, esters of fatty acids, vegetable oil and the like. Fine particles such as activated carbon, silica fume and spent catalyst can be employed to fill the large pores or cracks that develop in the cementitious matrix.
