Underwater structural reinforcement plays an important role in marine engineering and urban infrastructure maintenance. Glass fiber sleeve, underwater epoxy grout and epoxy sealant, as the key materials in underwater reinforcement, have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high strength and long service life, and are widely used in engineering practice. This paper will introduce the characteristics of these materials, selection principles and the corresponding construction methods.
I. Glass Fiber Sleeve
Glass fiber sleeve is a kind of structural material used for underwater reinforcement, and its main components are glass fiber and resin. It has excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and good flexibility, which can effectively increase the bearing capacity and seismic performance of the structure. When choosing fiberglass sleeves, the following factors should be considered:
1.Strength and stiffness: Select the appropriate strength and stiffness level according to the actual engineering requirements.
2.Diameter and length: Determine the appropriate diameter and length of the sleeve according to the size of the structure to be reinforced.
3.corrosion resistance: ensure that the fiberglass sleeve can withstand the chemicals in the underwater environment and the erosion of seawater.
II. underwater epoxy grout
Underwater epoxy grout is a special grouting material, mainly composed of epoxy resin and hardener. It has the following characteristics:
1.water resistance: it has excellent water resistance and is not affected by underwater environment.
2.bonding: able to form a strong bond with the fiberglass sleeve and improve the overall strength of the structure.
3.low viscosity: with low viscosity, it is easy to pour and fill in the underwater construction process.
III. Epoxy sealant
Epoxy sealant is used for sealing fiberglass sleeve in underwater reinforcement project, which can prevent water infiltration and corrosion. Its characteristics are as follows:
1.water resistance: good water resistance, long-term underwater use will not fail.
2.bonding: it can form a close bond with the glass fiber sleeve and underwater epoxy grout to improve the integrity of the project structure.
Construction method:
1.Preparation: Clean the surface of the reinforced structure, make sure the surface is free of debris and pollutants.
2.Installation of fiberglass sleeve: fix the fiberglass sleeve on the reinforced structure according to the design requirements.
3.Fill the underwater epoxy grout: use appropriate equipment to inject the underwater epoxy grout into the fiberglass sleeve, filling the entire sleeve space.
4.sealing treatment: use epoxy sealer to seal both ends of the fiberglass sleeve to prevent moisture penetration.
Conclusion:
Glass fiber sleeve, underwater epoxy grout and epoxy sealant are commonly used materials in underwater reinforcement projects. They play an important role in the bearing capacity, seismic performance and durability of reinforced structures. In practice, suitable materials should be selected according to the specific project requirements and operated in accordance with the corresponding construction methods to ensure the quality and reliability of the reinforcement project.
