Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a laboratory test program on abrasion-erosion resistance of concrete, including the development of a new underwater abrasion-erosion test method. This program was designed to evaluate the relative abrasion-erosion resistance of various materials considered for use in the repair of erosion-damaged concrete structures. The test program encompassed three concrete types (conventional concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, and polymer concrete); seven aggregate types (limestone, chert, trap rock, quartzite, granite, siliceous gravel, and slag); three principal water-cement rations (0.72, 0.54, and 0.40); and six types of surface treatment (vacuum, polyurethane coating, acrylic mortar coating, epoxy mortar coating, furan resin mortar coating, and iron aggregate topping). A total of 114 specimens made from 41 batches of concrete was tested. Based on the test data obtained, a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of various parameters on the abrasion-erosion resistance of concrete was presented. Materials suitable for use in the repair of erosion-damaged concrete structures were recommended. Additional work to correlate the reported findings with field performance was formulated.

Download or read book Abrasion Resistance of Materials written by Marcin Adamiak and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-16 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abrasion is the primary type of wear in almost all fields of industry. It is particularly relevant to the longevity of pipelines and pumps and to almost all processing industries and applications where a constant interface exists with abrasive substances such as dust, sediments, or fluids with mineral particles. The performance of systems can be degraded depending on the properties of abrasive particles such as size, velocity, angle of impact and shape. Furthermore, abrasion significantly affects the appearance of end-products, which can be especially important in applications where surface finishes are of prime importance. The use of materials which are resistant to abrasion can help retain the appearance of finished products, cut costs associated with maintenance and wear, and prevent system downtime. Materials which are abrasion-resistant are useful for situations where serious damage and mechanical wear can occur and where there is critical demand. The aim of this book is to evaluate abrasion-resistant materials that are already in use or under development, as well as to present information on new techniques in the design and application of such materials. This book will be of interest to a wide audience of engineers dealing with wear problems.

Presents best practices for predicting the structural lifetime for both onshore and offshore structures and reviews the most advanced methods for repair. Includes numerous practical case studies of structural failure and offers mitigation strategies depending of type of structure.
Download or read book Repair Evaluation Maintenance and Rehabilitation Research Program Surface Treatments to Minimize Concrete Deterioration Report 1 Survey of Field and Laboratory Application and Available Products written by Dennis L. Bean and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surfaces of many of the Corps' concrete structures are subject to deterioration due to freezing and thawing, weathering, chemical attack, erosion, and other destructive mechanisms. Surface treatment of the concrete with a material to retard action of the forces is one way to reduce the rate of or eliminate deterioration. In the past, various surface treatments have been applied to concrete; some were successful, while others failed. In most cases the failures were due to either selection of the wrong surface treatment material or improper application. There is a need to evaluate various surface treatments to determine which would offer the best protection and what would be the proper ways to apply them. The objective of this study was to obtain information on the types of current surface treatment materials available, chemical compositions, and properties, and the performance of these materials in service conditions. Keywords: Abrasion, Erosion, Coating, Hydraulic structures, Concrete deterioration, Sealers, Surface treatments, Stone consolidants, Vapor transmittance.
