Slip-resistant surface treatments with recycled container glass utilization

Abstract

Problem of the article is aimed at the construction completing period of bridge structures, whereas research of suitable slip-resistant surface treatment for bridge sections (i.e. where it is demanded or appropriate). Contribution of the research performed within the paper is glass based secondary raw material utilization on the surface treatment preparation. An optimal secondary raw material selection was performed in consideration of previous research (paper Slip-resistant surface treatments on bridge construction walking areas – the first stage), where the influence of recycled cathode ray tube glass was investigated. The secondary raw material (concretely recycled container glass) was then applied in suitable specific proportion and grain size to prepared matrix (epoxy resin). In the next phase of the research basic physical and mechanical properties determination of the prepared mixtures was carried out, i. e. tensile strength by rip off test by another name standstill to bedding.
