DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-DURABILITY PRECAST EMBEDDED FORMUTILIZING RESIN CONCRETE AND THEREE DIMENSIONAL STEELMESH

Abstract

This research was carried out to examine the practical application of an embedded form incorporating three dimensional steel mesh and resin concrete. The result was that, while maintaining durability, the use of the mesh in both the resin concrete and in the placed concrete, an integration of the embedded form was achieved as well as a definite improvement in the resistance to cracking. Furthermore it was found that by applying a colored gel coating to the surface of the panel the finished appearance could be made more environmentally attractive.
