This paper is to investigate the strength, impact endurance and shrinkage of wet spraying type fiber composite mortar for repair material depending on fiber type and product kinds. Fiber composite mortar containing PVA fiber had the highest strength compared to that using any other fiber. Especially, The use of PVA fiber results in a remarkable enhancement in impact strength and an improved volumetric stability. Accordingly, it is confirmed that fiber composite mortar containing PVA fiber has remarkable performance as repair material of damaged section of concrete.

Various ductile fiber reinforced cement composite(DFRCC) including large quantities of PVA fiber or steel fiber have been developed recently and studies to find applications in diverse domains are currently conducted actively. Regard to economical efficiency, DFRCC becomes competitive when applied as special elements and repair material with small quantities rather than the casting of large volume for the main body of structures in field. The authors have developed FRP-DFRCC composite slab for bridges and a wet spraying repair technique using DFRCC. In case of the application on FRP-DFRCC composite slab, it was found that there was no problems the structure and durability of it after passed 3 months. And in case of the application on the application of the deteriorated sewage box that passed 20 years, it was found that there was no difference the repair performance between domestic PVA fiber and the Japan. Therefore, DFRCC using PVA fiber, the concrete structures can be increased to performance and secured the economical efficiency.
