The Use of Geopolymers in Rehabilitation of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The subject of this paper is option analysis of the use of geopolymers as matrixes to repair mortars designated for rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures. Due to their specific properties, geopolymers show a high potential mainly for special applications. Rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures exposed to extreme conditions is a field in which it is possible to effectively take advantage of geopolymers ́ exceptional properties. In this particular case, we focus on comparing the behaviour of polymer-cement materials commonly used in the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures and the one of geopolymer-based mortars.
