Determining the most beneficial water-based acrylic resins applied in concrete constructions which are used in oil and gas industry

چکیده مقاله

In order to increase the service life of concrete constructions, many researches have been done which one of them is the use of polymers in concrete composition. The new Latex-Modified Concrete has opened new paths of the interdisciplinary science and increase the application of concrete in different fields specially concrete constructions sued in oil and gas systems In these systems thereto-plastic acrylic resin is formulated as basic raw material. Their characteristics have made the LMC a popular material for rehabilitation of structures.

This paper shows the results of research on the effect of three different kinds of Water based Acrylic resins including: basic, hydroxyl, carboxyl on physical, penetrating and mechanical properties of concrete such as chloride migration by RCMT, the depth of carbonation and Early ,final and Capillary Water Absorption (W/C= 0.445). Based on experimentally obtained results, carboxyl resin was not proper to produce LMC, but latexes with higher MMFT have shown better properties.
