PURPOSES: This study aims to evaluate the resistance to chemical attack of combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars as the repair materials (i.e., HRM mortar) used for concrete road facilities through a comparison with mortars made from cement repair materials (i.e., IRM mortar). METHODS: Inorganic materials used as a binder and two mineral fillers were adopted to produce HRM mortars. The ratio of the main resin versus the hardener was fixed at 2:1. For comparison, IRM mortars made of cement repair materials were also manufactured. The mortars were exposed to chemical solutions, such as NaCl, MgSO4, Na2SO4, and H2SO4, with the same concentration of 5% after 7 days of curing. The compressive strength, compressive strength loss, mass ratio, and relative bulk density of the mortar samples exposed to the chemical solutions were measured at predetermined periods. In addition, a scanning electron microscope observation was performed to evaluate the microstructures and the products formed by the chemical reaction of the mortar samples. RESULTS : As a result, the resistance to chemical attack of the HRM mortars was found to be much better than that of the IRM mortars, regardless of the types of attacking sources. This finding implies that HRM is a highly promising and versatile material because of its excellent resistance to chemical attack. CONCLUSIONS: The application of the combined organic and inorganic hybrid mortars is a possible option for repair of concrete road facilities exposed to aggressive environments.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of long - term deterioration factor of 12 months on 6 kinds of coating waterproofing materials (polyurethane 1, 2, acrylic rubber, polyurea, rubber asphalt, cement - As a part of the study to characterize the performance change in material aspect, the research was carried out on the tensile strength of the polyurea coating waterproofing material against the performance change in the long term exposure to the chemical erosion environment. As shown in the test results, it was mainly performed in an acidic environment, and it can be confirmed that polyurea is not resistant to acid. In the alkali and sodium chloride environment, the tensile strength after immersion for the last 12 months showed a decrease in strength within about 10% of the initial tensile strength, and it was confirmed that the resistance was excellent in an alkali environment.
