Abstract: Fibre Reinforced Sprayed Concrete (FRSC) is commonly used for underground support. Various types of fibres are suitable to reach the usually required specifications on energy absorption. However the use of FRSC still raises questions. One of them is about the long-term behaviour under sustained flexural load (creep). ASQUAPRO launched specific tests on this subject in October 2014, using six...
Abstract: The purpose of the ECOMINT project is to test three innovative repair processes for treating water seepage in tunnels: TECTOPROOF CA - an extra thin adhesive shell composed of an epoxy resin matrix impregnated with fiberglass ; MasterSeal 345 - an adhesive “sandwich” shell composed of a temporary waterproof levelling mortar, a sprayed waterproofing product and a sprayed reinforced concrete ;...
Abstract: The Rive-de-Gier tunnel, in France, was damaged by water leaks and concrete spalling due to corrosion of reinforcement bars. Both disorders were sources of risks for users and required frequent safety operator interventions. Repairing and sealing works were performed by means of a Reinforced Liquid Sealing System made of epoxy resin reinforced with glass fibre fabric, applied on...
