My concrete curved step is cracking at the seam. How do I fix it?
I would like a decorative solution if possible and because it is curved it would have to be flexible. Thank you.

HI Rca,
You should be able to find concrete patch compound at any hardware type of store. It doesn't look like it needs a lot of work. Talk to the people in the store and ask for the best product for your situation. Wishing you the best.
What about using a marine glue and glue on small glass beads or pea stone. I dont know if it would discolor the concrete, but maybe bendable copper wire
Home Improvement store carries a poly sand that you put on brick walkways to close up the gaps. I would be concerned about water getting in that crack and separating the two pieces. The poly sand would help with that.
mix cement to a tooth paste consistency put in a piping bag and lightly chip at cracked area clear area dust also use an adhesive (PVA) glue and brush area then apply cement with piping bag mixture and smooth off with damp rag or sponge
always remember to wear P.P.E.
William is right on the money. And fyi- ppe= personal protective equipment. Wear gloves! Concrete is extremely caustic, it will EAT your skin!
Concrete patch will crack. Cement piped in will also crack. Poly sand (paver sand) is used to fill gaps in between pavers. Won't work here. You need something that will flex with any movement. Best solution is use mortar caulk. Acrylic based, paintable, stays flexible.

Hi Tegger, You can fill wide cracks with concrete crack filler in a caulk tube. Good luck
I sealed a crack in my patio with the cement patch in a tube and caulking gun 5 years ago and it is still good. Use wide tape for painting and make a nice straight line with it above and below so the caulking joint is straight. Caulk and remove the tape. Nice and neat job.
