A method for repairing cracks using low-viscosity resins has been proposed as a construction method that can quickly repair roads from deterioration. However, when the viscosity of the epoxy resin is high, there is a limit in that it is difficult for the material to penetrate into microcracks and cracks in the concrete top plate. In this study, an epoxy thin-layer pavement repair method was developed using low-viscosity PMMA (Poly methyl methacrylate) to repair microcracks on the pavement surface and pavement layer and reinforce the pavement surface. Materials necessary for the thin-layer packaging method were developed, and performance was evaluated to meet the epoxy binder quality standards. As a result, all materials met the required performance.

In the repair and repair works, epoxy resins are widely used as repair materials. The successful concrete repairs and retrofit works depends on the quality of the repair and retrofit materials. Although many materials for the repairs and retrofit have been developed in many contries, information on the repair methods are somewhat limited. Futhermore, the repairs and retrofit methods are also largely dependent on those froms in other developed contries, it is necessary to initiate rather fundamental repair-related research. The purpose of this study is to investigate th physical and mechanical properties of epoxy resin which is commonly used in repairing concrte crack in RC structures. The basic physical properties such as specific gravity, gel point and shrinkage ratio as well as the mechanical properties such ad the tensile and compressive strength, elastic modulus were acquired by the standard test method (KS code). For the test results, the great deviations of physical and mechanical properties among the test materials were discovered and is, therefore, recommended that careful attentions should be give in selecting the epoxy resin by considering the characteristics of the repair materials and repair works.

Epoxy resins are gradually becoming some of the most important and versatile polymers in modem civil engineering. Because epoxy resins have some unigue properties, such as toughness, versatility of viscosity and curing conditions, good handling characteristics, high adhesive strength, inertness, low shrinkage compared to most other thermo-setting resins and concrete, and resistance to chemicals, they have found many applications in construction castings, repair materials, road or bridge deck pavements, coatings, and as structural or non structural adhesives. In this applications, epoxy resins are widely used for polymer concretes, grouting materials, injection glues, and sealants. In this paper, characteristics of deformation of repair material after repaired have been investigated by viscosity of repair material and the width of crack. It is believed that flexural strength of epoxy resin with low viscosity is high because tensile strength is high and elongation at break is low, fracture energy is low.

The objective of this study was to investigate applicability of epoxy injection method to cracked RC beams and structural behavior of repaired RC beams considering pre-loading conditions. For this purpose, five test beams were fabricated under two experimental variables. The main variables of this experimental study were pre-loading conditions and repair methods. The two pre-loading conditions were selected as $70\%$ and $90\%$ of nominal strength and the repair methods were to repair the cracked RC beams under free loading after crack and sustained loading. The comparative study was executed to evaluate effects of pre-loading conditions on the structural behavior of the cracked RC beams after crack-repair. The strains of reinforcement and concrete and deflections of beams at each loading step were measured and evaluated. As the results of this study, repair methods have much influence on structural behavior of epoxy injected RC beams and epoxy injection method for cracks of RC structures is appeared to be efficient.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to break away from the workforce method using cold-mix asphalt mixtures and has a constant quality and has develop repair materials of pre-production asphalt-precast types. METHODS: The selection of the repair material was determined as the results obtained through physical properties of materials and the field applicability. In case of repair materials, values obtained through Marshall stability test & the dynamic stability test & retained stability test as well as the site conditions was considered. In case of adhesive, test results were obtained through examination of the bond strength(tensile, shear) and the field applicability of the adhesive was examined through combined specimens to simulate field applications. RESULTS : According to the results of laboratory tests, in the case of repair materials, Marshall stability and dynamic stability, retained stability of cold-mix reaction type asphalt mixture is the highest. In the case of adhesive, two-component epoxy-urea has a very high bonding strength(tensile, shear) was most excellent. According to the results of field tests, when epoxy-urea was excellent workability. Also, the repair body through actual mock-up test did not occur large deformation and fracture after 12 months. CONCLUSIONS : A suitable repair material is cold-mix reaction type mixture of asphalt-precast, a suitable adhesive is a two-component epoxy-urea.

Confirmation of a damage degree and repair about a damage part are very hard for an underwater structure. And quality control of a construction is very complicated even if repair work is carried out on a damaged structure because repair work is carried out in water. If repair work is carried out while a defect part of the structure which there is in water keeps dry state, a efficient of repair is maximized. However, as for the repair technology about an underwater structure, a systematic researcher is not enough because of the environmental trouble. And, as for the effect about repair method to be applied to a currently underwater structure, it is not certainly proved. In this study The repair work of an underwater structure damaged applied the method that used a fiber panel form work. And a efficient of structure repaired was evaluated.

This paper was aimed to evaluate the structural performance of flexural members repaired by polymer cement and epoxy mortar at soffit. Main test variables were repair materials, ratio of reinforcement and additional reinforcing bars. Test results shows that the repaired beams could change flexural capacity by materials and additional reinforcing bars. In polymer cement, the section repaired can carry same load, cracking moment and the flexural stiffness of the monolithic beams with same size. In epoxy mortar, all data were greater than the shotcrete. However, note that epoxy mortar may conduct member into brittle failure mode.

In this research, properties of new crack repair materials using organic and inorganic composites (OAI) were investigated under various crack conditions. Especially, this study aims to develop new composites repair materials as needed to follow the crack and its repair method. Crack repair methods such as injection method and surface treatment repair method using self-healing capability for the practical industrial application were examined in comparison with normal crack repair method as a epoxy injection. From these results, it was confirmed that the sealing and injection effects through the cracks from field tests could be improved by OAI.

This paper presents an experimental study on flexural behavior of damaged RC beams repaired with epoxy mortar system. The main test variables are repair length and depth. A series of 7 specimens was tested to show the corresponding effect of each variables on maximum load capacity, load-deflection relationship, and failure mode. The results of this study shows that flexural behavior of repaired RC beams changes as the repair length and depth is getting longer and deeper, so that the tension strength of repairing materials should be considered in the courses of repair design.
