I have a concrete driveway that butts up against a concrete garage floor. There is a gap that is anywhere from about 1 inch to 1.5 inches by 17 feet across.
enter image description here

I would like to seal this gap but found a couple of issues as I was cleaning the gapit.

  1. Part of the concrete corner (1 spot) on the driveway side has cracked and come loose. enter image description here

  2. The rebar (15 spots) has rusted and cracked part of the concrete on either side of the gap. enter image description here

I've seen a few videos on filling then sealing this gap but none have a cracked corner or address rebar issues. I'm just starting on this project and haven't trytried anything yet. For background, I've done multiple DIY projects around the house. However, I have no concrete experience but willing to try. Please give some recommendations on what I should do.
