Stregthenting of Concrete Structures Using Polymer Resins

By applying the newly developed techniques of polymer impregnated concrete (PIC) severely deteriorated and low quality concrete can be restored to an adequate structural material. Early deterioration of concrete causes severe problems for bridge deck concrete, pavement concrete for highways and airports, hydraulic structures and buiilding structures. Deterioration has its orgin in cracks on concrete surface, scaling of spalling due to freezing and thawing, neutralization of concrete, penetrations of water, salt, and calcium chloride. The objective of this study is to develope the new surface impregnants and strengthening techniques for them. It is found that the new impregnants and strengthening techniques developed in this study can retian the charecteristics of the existing concrete and decrease deterioration, and also increase durability, chemical resistance, strength, stiffness and ductility of the existing concrete.
