Original Abstract

Continuous increase of industrial production is increasing production of waste materials. Besides the problems with the disposal of waste materials there are other reasons for exploitation of waste materials. One of these reasons is decreasing amount of suitable raw materials for production of building materials in some areas. The research described in this paper is connected with the previous research performed at the Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic. Research at this Institute is for number of years aimed at utilization of waste materials for production of new building materials. This paper describes the issue of utilization of industrial waste materials, namely waste foundry sand, fly ash and blast furnace slag as fillers to epoxy resin-based repair materials for concrete structures. These materials are supposed to protect reinforced concrete structures against corrosion of reinforcement, deterioration of concrete mass. To guarantee protective quality these materials has to meet certain requirements, for example: high compressive and tensile strength, adhesivity, low modulus of elasticity, high resistance to water penetration, water vapor permeability, low permeability to corrosive gases and vapors (CO2, SO2, etc.), resistance to different kind of chemical corrosive media. One of the advantages of these materials is also lower price in comparison to produced materials with similar properties. The most important contribution of these materials is from the point of view of the environment. Waste materials are saving natural sources, which could be spared for more convenient use and also use of waste materials and thus reduction of load to the environment. The paper describes development of protective materials for reinforced concrete structures.
