[0009] [Figure 1]1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a concrete structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings are simplified and do not correspond to actual dimensional ratios. The numerical range "A to B" represents A or more and B or less unless otherwise specified. In this specification, "(meth)acrylic" means "at least one of acrylic and methacrylic." Furthermore, in this specification, the term "resin" is used to include a monomer (polymerizable compound) that becomes a resin through polymerization. The composition is preferably a resin composition.

[0011] There are structures having a functional layer on an object, for example, a structure having a functional layer for protecting, reinforcing, or repairing the object. The object is preferably concrete. As such a structure, a concrete structure having a functional layer on the concrete for protecting, reinforcing, or repairing the concrete is known. Such a functional layer may be required to be transparent so that cracks and the like occurring on the surface of the concrete can be observed. On the other hand, if the functional layer is transparent, it may be difficult to confirm defects in the functional layer (poor construction, deterioration, etc.). The present invention provides a concrete structure that makes it possible to check for defects in the outermost layer of a functional layer that protects, reinforces, or repairs concrete, even if the functional layer is transparent.

[0012] [Concrete structure] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a concrete structure according to the present embodiment. The concrete structure 100 is a concrete structure having a functional layer 30 on concrete 50 that protects, reinforces, or repairs the concrete, the functional layer 30 being transparent in the visible light range, the functional layer 30 comprising a top layer 10 and a detection layer 20, the top layer 10 being located on the outermost layer of the concrete structure 100 and being a layer made of a resin composition (A) containing an ultraviolet absorber, and the detection layer 20 being a layer that becomes colored when irradiated with light in the ultraviolet range.

[0013] The top layer 10 of the concrete structure 100 contains an ultraviolet absorber. Therefore, if there is no defect in the top layer 10 (poor construction, deterioration, etc.), when ultraviolet light is irradiated from the top layer side of the concrete structure 100, the ultraviolet absorber contained in the top layer 10 absorbs the ultraviolet light, so the ultraviolet light does not reach the detection layer 20 and the detection layer 20 does not become colored. On the other hand, if there is a defect in the top layer 10, when ultraviolet light is irradiated from the top layer side of the concrete structure 100, the ultraviolet absorber contained in the top layer 10 cannot sufficiently absorb the ultraviolet light, so the ultraviolet light reaches the detection layer 20 and the detection layer 20 becomes colored. That is, according to the concrete structure of this embodiment, it is possible to check for defects in the layer (top layer 10) located at the outermost layer of the functional layers that protect, reinforce or repair the concrete.

[0014] In this specification, light in the visible light region means, for example, light with a wavelength of more than 400 nm and not more than 780 nm, and light in the ultraviolet region means, for example, light with a wavelength of 10 nm or more and 400 nm or less, preferably light with a wavelength of 300 nm or more and 400 nm or less.

[0059] When forming a detection layer 20 containing a fiber substrate, it is preferable to form an adhesive resin layer on the surface side of the concrete 50, and then attach the fiber substrate to the adhesive resin layer to form the detection layer 20 containing the fiber substrate.

[0063] When light in the ultraviolet region is irradiated from the top layer 10 side of the concrete structure 100, the detection layer 20 becomes colored if there is a defect in the top layer 10, so that defects in the top layer 10 can be detected.

The wavelength of the light in the ultraviolet region may be selected so as to include, for example, the excitation wavelength of the phosphor contained in the detection layer 20. Specifically, the wavelength of the light in the ultraviolet region is, for example, not less than 300 nm and not more than 400 nm.

[0065] [Resin composition] The resin composition of this embodiment is a resin composition that can detect defects in the outermost layer of a concrete structure that has a functional layer on top of the concrete that protects, reinforces, or repairs the concrete, and the resin composition is transparent in the visible light range and becomes colored when irradiated with light in the ultraviolet range. Here, the outermost layer of the concrete structure is a layer that does not contain the resin composition of this embodiment.

[0066] The resin composition of the present embodiment can be preferably used for the detection layer 20 in the concrete structure 100.

[0067] The resin composition of this embodiment is similar to the resin composition (B) in the resin composition set described below.

[0068] [Resin composition set] The resin composition set of this embodiment is a resin composition set capable of protecting, reinforcing, or repairing concrete, and includes a resin composition (A) and a resin composition (B). The resin composition (A) includes an ultraviolet absorber and is transparent in the visible light region, and the resin composition (B) is transparent in the visible light region and becomes colored when irradiated with light in the ultraviolet region.

[0069] Hereinafter, the resin composition (A) and the resin composition (B) in the resin composition set of this embodiment will be described.

[0070] <Resin composition (A)> The resin composition (A) contains an ultraviolet absorber and is transparent in the visible light region.

[0071] Here, the resin composition (A) being transparent in the visible light region means that a resin film made of the resin composition (A) having a thickness of 1 mm is transparent in the visible light region. Also, the resin film being transparent in the visible light region means that when a structure in which a resin film having a thickness of 1 mm is formed on concrete is observed from the resin film side in the visible light region, the resin film has transparency to such an extent that the surface of the concrete can be observed.

[0072] The resin composition (A) contains a resin. The resin composition (A) preferably contains at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a fluororesin, a silicone resin, a urethane resin, and a polyester resin.

[0073] The resin composition (A) contains an ultraviolet absorber. The ultraviolet absorber includes, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorbers and hydroxyphenyltriazine-based ultraviolet absorbers.

[0074] The content of the ultraviolet absorber in the resin composition (A) is preferably 0.1% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less, and more preferably 15% by mass or less, from the viewpoint of further improving the durability of the layer containing the resin composition (A), when the total of all components in the resin composition (A) is taken as 100% by mass.

[0075] The content of the colorant in the resin composition (A), when the total of all components in the resin composition (A) is taken as 100% by mass, is preferably less than 1% by mass, more preferably less than 0.1% by mass, even more preferably less than 0.05% by mass, even more preferably less than 0.01% by mass, from the viewpoint of making it easier to check defects in the top layer 10, and even more preferably, the resin composition (A) does not contain any colorant. Here, the colorant contained in the resin composition (A) has the same meaning as the colorant contained in the resin composition (B).

[0076] The resin composition (A) may contain components such as an antioxidant as appropriate.

[0077] The resin composition (A) can be preferably used in the top layer 10 of the concrete structure 100 .

[0078] <Resin composition (B)> The resin composition (B) is transparent in the visible light region and becomes colored when irradiated with light in the ultraviolet region.

[0079] Here, the resin composition (B) being transparent in the visible light region has the same meaning as the resin composition (A) being transparent in the visible light region. Furthermore, when the resin composition (B) is irradiated with light in the ultraviolet region, the resin composition (B) is colored. This means that when a resin film made of the resin composition (B) is irradiated with light in the ultraviolet region, the resin film is colored.

[0080] Resin composition (B) becomes colored when irradiated with light in the ultraviolet region. Therefore, when a coating layer made of resin composition (B) is irradiated with light in the ultraviolet region, areas where resin composition (B) has been applied become colored, while areas where resin composition (B) has not been applied remain colored, making it possible to confirm coating unevenness in the coating layer made of resin composition (B).

The resin composition (B) preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of polyester resins, (meth)acrylic resins, modified silicone resins, urethane resins, urea resins, urethane urea resins, and epoxy resins.

[0113] [evaluation] The evaluation of each example and comparative example is described below.

The measurement results are shown in Table 1.

[0117] <Defect detection and evaluation of the top layer> A weather-resistant paint (manufactured by Asia Kogyo Co., Ltd., product name: UC-840EG, paint containing UV absorber) was applied as a top layer to a PET film to a film thickness of 1 mm, and a PET film was attached to the side opposite the top layer PET film.The film was then cured at 23°C and a relative humidity of 50% for 7 days to obtain a film with a top layer having a film thickness of 1 mm. In addition, a film with a top layer having a thickness of 0.2 mm was prepared in the same manner as in the preparation of the film with a top layer having a thickness of 1 mm, except that the film thickness was 0.2 mm.

[0118] A 1 mm thick film with a top layer was placed on the film with the detection layer of Example 4, and ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 365 nm was irradiated from the side of the film with the top layer using an ultraviolet light, and the detection layer was visually observed.
