Solution Overview

Problem

Existing recess filling methods for underground pipelines and structures face issues such as corrosion of bolts and nuts, shrinkage of resin materials during curing, and inadequate bonding to reinforcing steel and concrete, leading to structural weaknesses and frequent repair needs.

Innovation Solution

A recess filling material kit comprising two radically polymerizable resin compositions, one with an expansive additive to minimize shrinkage and the other with a primer for metal bonding, ensuring strong initial bonding to concrete, steel, and reinforcing steel structures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If cement mortar, epoxy resin mortar, or polyurethane resin is used to fill recesses, then corrosion protection of bolts and nuts is improved, but the materials deteriorate over time due to age-related degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrosion protectionVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the filling material by using a two-component system (polymer powder and liquid monomer) that cures to form a crosslinked network structure. This chemical transformation provides long-term durability and resistance to age-related deterioration while maintaining corrosion protection functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite material system combining polymer powder, liquid monomer, and curing agent to create a filled resin composition. This composite approach provides both immediate corrosion protection and long-term structural stability, resolving the contradiction between initial protection and lasting durability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Strength

If radically polymerizable resin composition is used for filling, then initial bonding to concrete and steel is improved, but shrinkage occurs during curing that compromises structural integrity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoiddimensional stability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the polymerization parameters by controlling the ratio of polymer powder to liquid monomer and selecting appropriate curing agents. This optimization reduces shrinkage during curing while maintaining strong initial bonding to concrete and steel structures, resolving the contradiction between bonding strength and dimensional stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If existing filling materials are used for repair work, then construction speed is improved, but bonding reliability to reinforcing steel and concrete structures is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction speedVSAvoidbonding reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a primer component in the filling material formulation that is applied to the surface before the main filling. This preliminary bonding layer ensures reliable adhesion to reinforcing steel and concrete structures, while the overall two-component system maintains fast curing speeds for productive construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
