PATCHING AND GROUTING OF CONCRETE WITH EPOXY SYSTEMS

THE GENERAL ASPECTS OF THE USE OF EPOXY COMPOUNDS AND OF EPOXY CURING AGENTS FOR PATCHING AND GROUTING CONCRETE ARE DISCUSSED. THE SUCCESSFUL USE OF EPOXY MATERIALS REQUIRES THAT CERTAIN MATERIAL CRITERIA ARE MET AND THAT PROPER SURFACE-PREPATATION PROCEDURES ARE FOLLOWED. BASIC INFORMATION ON BOTH THESE SUBJECTS IS PRESENTED. THE PAPER DESCRIBES THE APPLICATION OF EPOXIES FOR REPAIR OF DAMAGE DUE TO FREEZING-THAWING, CHERT POP-OUT FAILURES, DAMAGE TO PRECAST PIECES, AND FLOOR DETERIORATION AFFECTED BY STEEL- WHEEL VEHICLES. ALSO DISCUSSED ARE PREVENTION OF DUSTING, CAVITATION, COLD JOINTS, AND CHEMICAL ATTACK. /ACIJP/
