ABSTRACT
The problem of ensuring continuity of building structures is acquiring increasing significance because of the wider use of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, notable volume of repairs and modifications of industrial buildings and increase in number of industrial units dealing with aggressive media. This problem may be solved by grouting the building structures with adhesive compounds having specific properties that provide overall strength, stability and durability to the structure while concomitantly reducing the inputs of labour, material and energy resources by eliminating electric welding and other 'wet' grouting processes. Thermoreactive polymers, mineral binders and polymineral compositions were used as matrices for the adhesive compounds. Mineral fillers, thermoplastic polymeric fillers and oligomer processed mineral fillers, served as the secondary phase. A classification of the compounds investigated in this chapter. It was found that the best results are obtained by internal (structural) plasticising in which the plasticisers become chemically bonded to the oligomers.
