Abstract
In this research, porcelain powder and glass was added by 0.25% (0.15% porcelain powder and 0.1% glass powder) to the epoxy used in the concrete strengthening. The addition improved epoxy properties and reduced the cost. The results showed that the addition of porcelain and glass powder decrease the interaction temperature by 11.37%, epoxy flow by 10.41%, and increase the compressive strength by 7.61%. Upon testing the improved epoxy cubes under the effect of temperatures up to 200ᵒ C compression resistance decreased by 6.36%, while both modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity improved by (1.03% and 4.11%) respectively. The epoxy was tested and used to strengthen reinforced concrete beams and tests showed good improvement in flexural properties.
Highlights
Epoxy has been used in several fields, including strengthening and treating concrete parts, especially with polymers
Balqees and others (2009) studied the effect of ultraviolet radiation on some mechanical properties of epoxy supported in four different cases at the rate of 30%,First in glass fiber, aluminum powder, Second with glass fiber, silica powder, third with aluminum powder only and with silica powder only, The samples were subjected to radiation for periods of (15, 50 and 100) hours, It was concluded that the best case for epoxy strengthening was the first and second, which increased compressive resistance, elasticity coefficient, shock resistance and all conditions of subjected to ultraviolet radiation
Abdullah 2018) studied the effect of adding three powders, the powder of porcelain, glass powder and brick powder on the bonding material separately and at different rates are (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 1.25) It was found that the best types of the three powders are the porcelain powder by adding 0.25, which added to the decrease of the reaction temperature by (15.56)% and improved the flow by (7.89)%
Summary
Epoxy has been used in several fields, including strengthening and treating concrete parts, especially with polymers. Their study included the study of the mechanical properties resulting from the addition of fine sand to the bonding material at different rates (0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.25, 1.5) of the weight of this material, The results of the tests showed that this addition increased the compressive resistance, fracture coefficient, fire resistance, toughness and hardness of this material. This decreases the heat of the reaction resulting from the partial response of the bonding material and improved the workability of this material well. The purpose of this study is to reduce the cost of epoxy by adding the mix of porcelain and glass together, in addition to the result of this addition of the improvement of the properties of epoxy represented by the resistance of compression, the coefficient of fracture & flexibility, the flow of material and temperature of the interaction
