Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A laminate material for reinforcement is provided that can reduce on-site work steps and facilitate quality control of a resin to be used to achieve improvement in work efficiency, and that can suppress debonding of a reinforcing member to obtain a high reinforcing effect. A laminate material for reinforcement 10 bonded to and integrated with a surface to be reinforced of a structure 100 to reinforce the structure has a fiber-reinforced composite member 11 , a high-elongation elastic resin layer 12 formed on a surface on a bonding side to the structure of the fiber reinforced composite member 11 , and an intermediate resin layer 13 disposed between the fiber-reinforced composite member 11 and the high-elongation elastic resin layer 12.

First claim

The invention claimed is: 1. A laminate material for reinforcement bonded to and integrated with a surface to be reinforced of a structure to reinforce the structure, the laminate material for reinforcement of the structure having: a fiber-reinforced composite member; a high-elongation elastic resin layer formed on a surface on a bonding side to the structure of the fiber-reinforced composite member; and an intermediate resin layer disposed between the fiber-reinforced composite member and the high-elongation elastic resin layer, wherein the intermediate resin layer has a tensile elasticity when cured of 1000 N/mm 2 or more and 10000 N/mm 2 or less, and wherein the intermediate resin layer has a thickness of 0.05 mm or more and 5.0 mm or less. 2. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate resin layer is a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin. 3. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 2 , wherein the thermosetting resin forming the intermediate resin layer is an epoxy resin, an epoxy acrylate resin, an acrylic resin, an MMA resin, a vinyl ester resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, or a photosetting resin. 4. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 2 , wherein the thermoplastic resin forming the intermediate resin layer is a polyamide resin, a nylon resin, a polypropylene resin, a phenolic resin, or an ABS resin. 5. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 1 , wherein the high-elongation elastic resin layer has, when cured, a tensile elongation of 400% or more, a tensile strength of 8 N/mm 2 or more, and a tensile elasticity of 60 N/mm 2 or more and 500 N/mm 2 or less. 6. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 1 , wherein the high-elongation elastic resin layer is a polyurea resin or a urethane resin. 7. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 6 , wherein the polyurea resin forming the high-elongation elastic resin layer contains a base resin, a hardener, a filler and an additive, and is composed of: (i) the base resin: a prepolymer having an isocyanate as a reactive component and having a terminally-remaining isocyanate adjusted to 1 to 16 parts by weight in NCO weight % is used; (ii) the hardener: a hardener containing an aromatic amine as a main component is used, and the hardener having a ratio of NCO of the base resin to the amine calculated to 1.0:0.55 to 0.99 parts by weight is used; (iii) the filler: a silica stone powder and a thixotropic agent are contained, and blended appropriately to 1 to 500 parts by weight; and (iv) the additive: a colorant, a viscosity modifier and a plasticizer are contained, and blended appropriately to 1 to 50 parts by weight. 8. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber-reinforced composite member is a reinforcing-fiber containing member containing reinforcing fibers and a resin impregnated into the reinforcing fibers and cured, a cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing-fiber containing member is a plate shape, an angle shape, a channel shape, a T-shape, or a square-pipe shape, and the intermediate resin layer and the high-elongation elastic resin layer are laminated on a surface on a bonding side to the structure of the reinforcing-fiber containing member. 9. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 8 , wherein the resin of the fiber-reinforced composite member is a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin, or a mixed resin of a thermosetting resin and a thermoplastic resin. 10. The laminate material for reinforcement of the structure according to claim 1 , having a release sheet on an outer surface opposite to a laminating side to the fiber-reinforced composite member of the high-elongation elastic resin layer. 11. A reinforcing method for a structure for reinforcing the structure by bonding and integrating a laminate material for reinforcement to a surface to be reinforced of the structure with an adhesive, wherein the laminate material for reinforcement is a laminate material for reinforcement according to claim 1 . 12. The reinforcing method for the structure according to claim 11 , wherein the adhesive is an epoxy resin, an epoxy acrylate resin, an acrylic resin, an MMA resin, a vinyl ester resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, or a photosetting resin. 13. The reinforcing method for the structure according to claim 12 , wherein the adhesive is an epoxy resin adhesive, and the epoxy resin adhesive is provided as being of a two-component type having a base resin and a hardener, and is composed of: (i) the base resin: a base resin containing an epoxy resin as a main component and, if necessary, containing a silane coupling agent as an adhesion enhancer is used; and (ii) the hardener: containing amines as a main component. 14. The reinforcing method for the structure according to claim 11 , having, before bonding the laminate material for reinforcement to the surface to be reinforced of the structure, a step of preparing the surface to be reinforced of the structure and/or a step of applying a primer. 15. A reinforcing structural body for a structure having a fiber-reinforced composite member bonded with an adhesive to and integrated with a surface to be reinforced of the structure, the structure reinforcing structural body for the structure having: the fiber-reinforced composite member; a high-elongation elastic resin layer formed on a surface on a bonding side to the structure of the fiber-reinforced composite member; and an intermediate resin layer disposed between the fiber-reinforced composite member and the high-elongation elastic resin layer, wherein the high-elongation elastic resin layer has, when cured, a tensile elongation of 400% or more, a tensile strength of 8 N/mm 2 or more, and a tensile elasticity of 60 N/mm 2 or more and 500 N/mm 2 or less. 16. The reinforcing structural body for the structure according to claim 15 , wherein the adhesive is an epoxy resin adhesive, and the epoxy resin adhesive is provided as being of a two-component type having a base resin and a hardener, and is composed of: (i) the base resin: a base resin containing an epoxy resin as a main component and, if necessary, containing a silane coupling agent as an adhesion enhancer is used; and (ii) the hardener: containing amines as a main component.
