Analysis of the service life of wooden bridge structures using structural protection
Source abstract
Abstract
This article deals with the use of polyurea contact insulator as structural protection for wooden bridge structures. The waterproof coating is applied to a spruce wood substrate to create a composite element with a protective layer to protect the wood from atmospheric influences. The moisture conditions on the composite element are analyzed on the surface of the beam (under the insulator) and on the side surface. Furthermore, the adhesion of the investigated polyurea material to the beam is investigated by tear tests. The tear test shows that the cohesion between the studied composite materials is higher than the strength of wood perpendicular to the fibres. This experimental research confirms the suitability of using polyurea insulator on wood as a protective coating against atmospheric influences. • The service life of wooden bridge structures using structural protection. • Protection of the spruce wood carrier from atmospheric influences using polyurea contact insulator. • Durability of historical buildings with prevention of rainwater penetration into the load-bearing parts of the structures.
