COEFFICIENT OF LINEAR THERMAL EXPANSION OF EPOXY RESIN MORTARS - FINAL REPORT

EXPOXY RESIN MATERIALS HAVE BEEN USED SINCE 1959 FOR THE RAPID REPAIR OF AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS; SOME HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL, OTHERS HAVE FAILED. SOME OF THE FAILURES MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO INTERNAL STRESS IN THE EPOXY RESIN MATERIAL. THESE STRESSES COULD BE DUE TO CURING SHRINKAGE OR TO THE DIFFERENCE IN COEFFICIENT OF LINEAR THERMAL EXPANSION (OC SUB 1) BETWEEN THE EPOXY PATCH AND PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE. THIS STUDY WAS UNDERTAKEN TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE THERMAL EXPANSION AND CURING SHRINKAGE OF EPOXY RESIN MORTARS AND CONCRETES. /AUTHOR/
