Coating and Linings
In the realistic world:
·Surface Preparation Issues (+50% failures easily)
·Ambient Conditions/Application
·Wrong specification for environment
50%

30%
Failures
Surface Prep. Wrong Spec. Bad Application
Sources: API 652, Corrosion Resistance of Linings and Coatings, SSPC Good Painting Practice Manual 4th Edition, etc.
• Corrosion of Rebar in concrete expansion.
• Atmosphere or chemical attack on concrete matrix.
• Neglected Maintenance.
• Cracks from improper installation.

Realistic Considerations
Cost ·Higher than average material cost ·Unfamiliarity can rise cost/bids
Durability ·There are debatable positions ·Uncertainty affects the potential for lower long-term cost
Repair and Inspection ·Reduced experience and available methods ·Lack of Qualified/Experienced Applicators*
Education ·More complex than conventional materials ·Still lacking at the technical and professional level

Typical FRP Strengthening Systems
RT Consults PLLC NACE Conference: June 29-July 1, 2015
• Removal of corroded rebar and compromised concrete.
• Proper surface preparation.• Selection of method
(physical, chemical, both)• Help correct existing cracks
and delay formation of new cracks.
• Moisture Control

Issues Affecting Laminate Performance
Examples:
·Poor curing (initial)·Diffusion ·Applied stress ·Embrittlement ·Micro-cracking ·Swelling ·Impact ·Environmental cycling ·Aging (Time) Lack of Fusion and Poor Fit
