Abstract

The paper presents the results of laboratory tests and field application in a highway bridge of self compacting repair materials. Three commercially available repair materials and one specially designed self compacting concrete were used in the study. The properties investigated were shrinkage, creep, elastic modulus and modulus of rupture. In addition, the field investigation determined flowing characteristics, compactibility and placing procedure of the flowing materials. The laboratory results show that the constituents of the mixtures greatly influence the basic properties of the materials. Inclusion of coarse aggregate in the mixture generally lowered the free shrinkage and modulus of rupture. Creep was highest in the material with polymer modification but creep recovery was lowest where large size aggregate was present. The elastic modulus was also influenced by the addition of coarse aggregate and copolymers The field results show that the materials can be placed and compacted satisfactorily without the aid of mechanical equipment.
