The upper portion of the footing across the back door to my garage broke off years ago. A section of rebar is exposed and is somewhat rusted (see photo). I figure that, at minimum, I need to use something like Rust Reformer to treat the steel. I would like to rebuild the missing concrete but unsure what to use. The problem in selecting a material is that my house is built on expansive clay soil so there is seasonal movement. The good news is that at 70 years old there are a few spots with hairline cracks in the footing but this is the only bad location. Any suggestion what I can use to rebuild this to avoid further deterioration and improve the aestehtics?
