Abstract:

The assessment of information in the technical literature pertaining to the engineering properties of epoxy resin, as an adhesive material for injection under pressure into cracks in USN reinforced concrete waterfront facilities as a means of restoring structural integrity, covers the period from 1950 to 1975. The review reveals that the available engineering data suffice for establishing a practical guide for civil engineers concerned with such application of epoxy resin. The report condenses a multitude of facts, quantifies the range of values relative to the physical characteristics of hardened epoxy resin, outlines the essentials of approaching a structural bonding problem, and briefly describes the procedure for consolidating a cracked concrete structural member by pressurized injection of epoxy resin. The report pertains to crack repairs that are essential for the stability of concrete waterfront structures it is not intended to deal with sealing cracks and joints either against penetration of foreign matter or to prevent leakage.
