EPOXY RESIN-PULVERIZED FUEL ASH MIXTURES

THE ADDITION OF PULBERIZED FUEL ASH (PFA) AND SAND TO EPOXY RESIN CAN PRODUCE A MORTAR OF CONCRETE WHICH POSSESSES STRENGTHS IN EXCESS OF THOSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO NORMAL PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE AND WHICH CAN BE USED TO FORM STRUCTURAL JOINTS AND SECTIONS. RESIN MORTAR CAN BE USED AS A THIN COATING IN REPAIRING CURBS, SLABS, OR VERTICAL FACES. TESTS ON RESIN PFA MIXTURES SHOW THAT AS WITH BITUMINOUS MIXTURES, THE COARSE TEXTURE AND FINE-SCALE HARSHNESS PROVIDED BY THE AGGREGATE ARE IMPORTANT IN SKID RESISTANCE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ASPHALTIC MIXTURES COULD BE DEVELOPED USING PFA/EPOXY RESIN MORTARS, WHICH WOULD BE DURABLE, POLISH-RESISTANT, AND SKID-RESISTANT. SUCH MIXES COULD PROVIDE A METHOD OF RETEXTURING CONCRETE ROAD SURFACES. /AUTHOR/
