Default Need to Stabilize Pool Shell Crack Just Below Decking

I was hoping that driving a bunch of rebar vertically through the deck
and into the shell wall would stabilize any stresses and movement that
might be occuring through uneven expansion.


Think about it. If stresses are enough to pull the solid concrete apart,
they will tear any patch apart, the patch being necessarily weaker than the
original.
