Impregnating Compound for Cement-Concrete Road Pavement

Abstract

The paper proposes an impregnation composition for cement concrete roads used as an ice-phobic coating. The composition has been made based on keratin-containing components derived from animal waste with the addition of water-soluble polymers. The main parameter of serviceability of the coating impregnated with the developed composition was assessing the adhesion resistance of ice crust to concrete under the influence of mechanical loads. For this purpose, tests of big specimens (surface area 1925 cm2) in laboratory conditions with application of vibration and impact loads and modelling of thermal stresses were conducted. The test results showed the effectiveness of the ice-coating, as in all experiments, the uncoated specimens showed a greater resistance of the ice crust to mechanical stresses. An additional evaluation parameter was comparing the water absorption capacity of coated and uncoated concrete. The test results showed a significant difference in the water absorption capacity of the uncoated specimens, exceeding the coated specimens by 47%. Due to the results obtained, it will be possible to use the impregnation compound effectively to improve the ice resistance of cement concrete coatings.

Experimental Analysis of the Stress State of a Prestressed Cylindrical Shell with Various Structural Parameters

“…As a result, the structure is facilitated, metal is saved, the technology is simplified and the cost of structures is reduced. The results of the research confirm the possibility of using prestress taking into account the parameters for different cases in a cylindrical shell [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ].…”

“…In any case, the pitch, according to the recommendations of [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ], should be less than the half-wave length— , and it should be selected according to the conditions of the tasks solved by prestressing and a technical and economic comparison of options.…”

In the studies [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ], work was carried out to study the effect of damage and defects in steel wrappings on the stiffness and natural frequencies of prestressed pipes as well as the characteristics of metals. Nonlinear analysis of prestressed round cylindrical shells’ free vibrations was studied, and the simultaneous influence of the prestressed state and the elastic foundation on the eigenfrequencies of shells under various boundary conditions was considered in detail.…”
