The Suitability of Sealants for Use with Concrete Structures

Abstract:

Building reconstruction is rather a broad term encapsulating the implementation of solutions to the unsatisfactory condition of various parts of a built structure, which includes the solution of issues concerning the penetration of undesired humidity in the liquid state through leaks in the building’s outer shell. This contribution deals with issues involved in the sealing of concrete elements in the outer shell structures of buildings using modern sealants. It involves the experimental testing of sealed joints using test samples fabricated from glass fibre reinforced concrete and fibre-cement facade cladding panels in combination with various commonly accessible sealants. The sealants were exposed to tensile stress under various environmental conditions, as well as cyclic stress. The results of the tests provide a comprehensive picture of sealants’ adhesion and cohesion with the test substrates and clearly show the suitability or unsuitability of their application on substrates with cement content.
