An Experimental Study on the Durability Evaluation of Polymer Cement Restoration Materials for Deteriorated Reinforced Concrete Structures

The duties of the restorative materials are to bear up against stress and to protect reinforcement corrosion. So the restorative materials are estimated by various kinds of strength, permeability and etc, But, in case of existing performance evaluation of restorative materials, because various deterioration factors are separately acted, the system of performance evaluation is different from that of combined deterioration of real structure and it is difficult to evaluate the exact performance of restorative materials. In this study, to evaluate Performance of restorative materials , we compare their korea standard properties in terms of compressive and bending strength and permeability of water and air with real durability for carbonation. salt damage and actual reinforcement corrosion like ratio of corrosion area. weight reduction and corrosion velocity of steel bar under environment of combined deterioration. The results showed that strength and permeability of restorative materials are similar but their resistance to carbonation. salt damage and actual reinforcement corrosion are very different.
