A Study on the Abrasion Resistance of Hydraulic Structures with Different Repair Mortars

One of the main problems with hydraulic structures is that floating silt, gravel, ice sand, boulders, and other materials circulating over a concrete surface have an abrasive effect causes to abrade. Abrasion degrade, which could eventually expose reinforcing corrosion. In addition section loss, reinforced structures’ endurance may also be problem. Repair mortars are used restore surfaces been abraded. The suitability various repair for use as layer on examined in this study. order apply different specimens subject them forces, work employs experimental methodology. ASTM C 1138 standard was followed testing abrasion resistance samples repaired using underwater. Both silica fume mortar polymer-modified were employed study forms mortar. For each type mortar, three cylindrical cast, along control specimens. Hence, nine total quantify and, consequently, assess efficacy materials, volume loss measured. Important findings about material’s underwater included show terms underwater, performs better than
