1.0 ifjp;@INTRODUCTION
Synthetic resins such as epoxy, polyester, acrylic, polyurethane and
similar resins have found application in civil engineering. Epoxy
resins, which were first commercialized in 1946, are one of the most
important and widely used types of polymeric systems that include
paints and coatings, adhesives, sealants, fillers, reinforced polymer
composites and varnishes. These epoxy resin system find application
in civil engineering works such as grouting of cracks, repairs of
eroded concrete structures, emergency repairs of bridges, aqueducts,
chemically corroded columns and beams. To support these
applications, epoxy resins are formulated to generate specific
physical and mechanical properties.
Epoxy resins when cured with different hardeners offer wide range
of properties. Once cured, they form irreversible system
(thermosetting). The characteristic properties of cured Epoxy resin
systems relevant to civil engineering applications are:
The need of structural repairs can arise from any of the following:
(Go to index)
Diluents: These are used for lowering the viscosity and improving
handling characteristics of epoxy resin and are classified as:
Coal Tar Epoxy System: Coal Tar epoxy resin combinations with
polyamine hardener have been widely used as water resistant
protective coatings. Coal Tar plays an important part in the
improvement of corrosion resistance of epoxy resin system. It is
Coal Tar/Epoxy in proportion of 40:60, which has been reported to
give optimum results under aggressive environment.
The epoxy resin (DGEBA) and the hardener are to be mixed for
starting the chemical reaction of hardening. For preparing the
mortar, some silica flour is added to aggregates as per
manufacturer’s recommendation for the best application. The epoxy
mortar so prepared has a compressive strength more than that of
concrete of PRC sleeper.
Procedure:
Equipments required
The area to be grouted should be dry and free from oil, grease,
dust and all loose and unsound materials.
All cracks should be cut open to a 'V' groove about 10mm deep
by mechanical or manual means. Loose material should be
removed by using compressed air and groove fully sealed using
epoxy mortar at least one day in advance.
i) Surface Preparation:
ii) Painting:
Epoxies are generally toxic in nature and these require lot of care in
their handling. The special care required to be taken during their
mixing and applications are as under:
They should not come in contact with the skin. Workers should
be provided with rubber gloves.
cover the area within the pot life period as recommended by the
manufacturers.
