The invention relates to an
epoxy adhesive for assembling bridge segments in a marine environment and a preparation method, the
epoxy adhesive comprises a component A and a component B. The component A comprises
epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, a
reactive diluent, a thixotropic agent, a
coupling agent, a defoaming agent, an
ultraviolet light absorber and a filler; the epoxy resin comprises
bisphenol A type epoxy resin, hydrogenated
bisphenol A type epoxy resin and
bisphenol F type epoxy resin, and the
reactive diluent is C12-C14
alkyl glycidyl ether; the component B comprises a modified amine curing agent, a thixotropic agent and a filler, and the filler is formed by compounding different grades of active silica micropowder. Through molecular hydrophobic design,
physical structure dense filling and interface chemical bonding, the
adhesive has excellent wet concrete adhesion, extremely
low chloride ion permeability, excellent damp-heat
aging resistance and balanced construction manufacturability, and solves the problem of durability of a joint of a segment assembled bridge in a marine environment.
