Abstract |
Concrete structures undergo degradation of durability performance and it generally propagates to the structural problems. Recently. a lot of materials for surface protection for concrete are developed, however, performance is not clearly improved due to the difficulties such as repair construction technique and quality of materials for repairing. In this study, liquid inorganic impregnant for concrete structures is developed and durability performance for impregnated concrete specimens is carried out. Furthermore, the performances of the concrete specimens with developed impregnant is also compared with those of the specimens with impregnant conventionally used. Additional CSH gel is formed through the reaction of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) and impregnant with silicate. As a result of the reaction, impregnated concrete is evaluated to have more denser surface and resistance to deterioration. Finally it is experimentally verified that the concrete specimens with developed impregnant show better durability performance than normal specimens and those with conventional impregnant.
