1.0 Repair/ Rehabilitation Strategies
• Reduction of dead/ live loads• Repair/ strengthening of columns, beams
and slabs• Improving the compressive strength of
concrete• Attending to cracks and joints• Improving masonry structure to resist
earthquake forces• Providing protective cover against the
aggressive deteriorating chemicals.
2.0 Stress Reduction
• Reducing of dead/ live loads• Replacing heavy solid partitions with light
weight partitions• Enlarging penning by removing filler wlls• Reducing number of stories• Changing the building use• Span reduction of beam by props
Materials for Repairs (Function Wise)
1)Materials for surface preparation2)Chemical rust removers for corroded
reinforcements3)Passivators for reinforcement protection4)Bonding agents5)Structural repair materials6)Non structural repair material 7)Injection grouts8)Joint sealants9)Surface coating for RCC
Selection of Materials
Essential Parameters•Low shrinkage properties•Requisite setting/ hardening properties•Workability•Good bond strength (equal)•Compatible coefficient of thermal expansion, compatible, mechanical properties & strength to that of the sub strata•Allow relative movement in case of sealant•Minimal or no curing requirement •Alkaline character•Low air & water permeability•Aesthetics•Cost•Durable, non degradable or non bio degradable•Non hazardous/ non polluting
Materials
A.Premixed cement mortar modified with non polymeric admixtures
B.Polymers/ latex modified cement addition for mortar/ concrete
C.Styrene butadiene rubber latex( SBR)D.PVDC (Poly Vinylidene Chloride)E.Epoxy ResinsF. Acrylics and modified acrylicsG.Chemicals for corrosion inhibitor, removal
of rust.
Premixed cement concrete/ Mortars
• High drying shrinkage• Slow setting• Low workability• Curing requirement• Permeable- .
Polymer modified mortars/ concrete (PMM/ PMC)
Polymers (Latex) are in the dispersed form. First added to water than cement mortar/
concrete. OPC + Aggregate + fibers + polymers. Polymers forms continuous films on drying Improved properties.
Physical and mechanical properties of polymer modified mortars
• Good workability• Improved water retention• Better flowability. Reduced bleeding/ segregation• Films gap the crack and hence better resistance to crack
propagation• Increased tensile and flexure strength. But not
improvement in compressive strength.• Attacked by acids/ sulphates/ organic solvents• Better resistance to alkalis & salts• Strength reduction with increase in temperature• More polymer lesser shrinkage• Good water proofing quality• Better abrasion resistance• Bio nondegradable
Mix Proportioning, polymer modified mortar
Cement mortar (1:2 to 1:3)Polymer latex - .05 to .2 of cement by wtw/c ratio .3 to .6
Toughness test. Without polymer modification (left), the patch flashes off very quickly and breaks like a potato chip. Notice the
residual mortar on the concrete substrate. The 10% polymer-modified patch (right) could not be moved.
Generals Guidelines1. It adheres to metal. Trowels to be
washed immediately
2. Surface to be saturated dry
3. Not to be placed below 50C & above 300C
4. Protect from rainfall
5. Joint after every 3-4 meter
6. Moist cured
7. Non toxic
8. Not to be stored in open
Fields of Application of polymer modified mortar
1) Structural repairs to RCC PMM/ PMC2) Ultra Rapid Hardening Polymer Modified Shotcrete Polymerisable monomer for leaking & flowing water Rapid hardening cement + SBR for urgent construction &
repair works.3) Polymer ferrocements Steel & carbon fibers in latex modified mortar Impact resistance4) Anti washout under water concrete Anti wash out, segregation resistance, flow ability, self
leveling ability and bleeding control. Water soluble polymers MC & HEC Water becomes viscous (Hydrogen bond with polymers and
disperses in water)
Polymer modified mortars5) Protective anticorrosive and water proofing
coatings• Polymer modified pastes & slurries• Very high polymer content 50%• OPC + silica sand + water + polymer latexes• 0.2 mm to 4mm• SBR, PAE, EVA, SAE• Elongation & water resistance, crack bridging
capacity6) Bond Coats• PM CM paste & slurries • Bond coats/ grouts• Very good adhesive qualities on cementitious as
well on metallic surface.
EPOXIESEpoxies• Polymerisation takes place when epoxy resin &
hardener come in contactAdvantages• Good machanical strength• Chemical resistance• Ease of workingApplications• High performance coatings• Adhesives• Injection grouting• High performance systems• Industrial flouring • Grouting
