Description

PRODUCTION METHOD OF A WASTE DENIM BASED CONFINEMENT FABRIC
FOR REPAIR AND STRENGTHENING OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
Field of the Invention
The invention falls in the field of structural and mechanical departments of civil engineering and relates to a confinement element produced as a result of the carbonization of waste denims and the production method thereof for use in repairing and strengthening processes of structural elements such as columns , beams , slabs or partition walls .
Background of the Invention
Today, by imparting fiber form using various methods , carbon or glass-based fiber reinforcements are utilized to improve the capacities of damaged or insufficient structural elements such as concrete columns , beams , shear walls and slabs . In the method used, the surface is made smooth by applying epoxy primer to the reinforced concrete element surface first . In the next stage , fabrics in the form of carbon, glass or special fiber impregnated with epoxy-based resin are wrapped in a sufficient number of layers . In addition, the fibers can be wrapped with repair mortar, or the cracked or shattered parts in the concrete may need to be filled with repair mortar .
The specially processed carbon or glass fibers used are very costly materials . Since the primers and resins used in the application process are offered by the manufacturer companies specifically for fiber, these chemicals are also supplied at high prices . Out of plane behaviour that occur during or after the application, especially in the longitudinal fiber directions , reduce the capacities of the confinement elements .
In order to reduce the cost of production in the art , there are developments regarding the use of waste products in confinement elements . As an example of the current state of the art , the document titled 'Development of novel carbon fiber produced from waste fiber by carbonization' ( Kawasaki , N . , Tominaga , H . , Ogata , F . et al . Journal of Oleo Science 61 , ( 10 ) 593- 600 ( 2012 ) ) may be referred . The aforementioned document describes obtaining carbon fiber by subj ecting waste fibers to a carbonization process . In the study of the document , wool , polyester and cotton fibers are used as waste fibers and the products obtained by applying the carbonization process to the said fibers under different conditions are examined . In the production method of said carbon-derived materials /carbon fibers , the wool , polyester and cotton samples are first put in the oven under 1 L/min nitrogen gas and their temperature is increased to a temperature of 400 ° C-1000 ° C for 3 hours . At the highest determined temperature , the samples are kept in the range of 0-2 hours and then the obtained materials are allowed to cool . The mentioned study states that the form obtained by carbonization of cotton fiber has a fibrous and porous structure despite the melting of wool and polyester in the carbonization process . It is thought that the products obtained in the temperature range in the said document have a limited surface area and elemental carbon content .
Another example of the current state of the art is the patent document No . CN105793374A. The said document relates to an adhesive layer that exhibits high support/repair performance when applied to building materials . The adhesive layer of the present document comprises a substrate impregnated with acidic resin, comprising reinforcing fibers , and an adhesive layer positioned on the substrate . For example , the document describes that the sample is wrapped with fiber reinforced plastics ( FRP ) for reinforcing concrete columns , and for this process , epoxy resin is applied to columns primarily to remove the roughness on the surface . An embodiment of the invention of the said document describes that denim fabric can be used as reinforcing fiber and that the reinforcing fiber can be guided and woven in certain orientations . It is thought that the original tissue form of the waste denim cannot be preserved due to the fact that the carbonization process is not applied in the production method of the document . Therefore , the weaving process is necessary .
Another example of the current state of the art may be referred to as 'Mesoporous activated carbon fibers synthesized from denim fabric waste : efficient adsorbents for removal of textile dye from aqueous solutions ' ( Silva , T . , Cazetta , A. , Souza , P . et al . Journal of Cleaner Production 10826 ( 2017 ) ) . The document relates to the production of mesoporous-activated carbon fiber from waste denim fabrics . The method of the document comprises the following process steps : collecting waste denim fabrics to obtain carbon fibers , drying, cutting into certain size pieces , placing waste denim fabric in the stainless steel reactor, adding H3PO4 to the reactor to provide activation and obtaining acid-impregnated material , the material is then pyrolyzed under nitrogen gas at temperatures of 300 ° C- 500 ° C- 1000 ° C, respectively, to be exposed to each temperature for 1 hour and the oven is allowed to cool . The use of carbon fibers obtained in the document as an adsorbent in removing textile dyes from aqueous solutions is emphasized, and it is not mentioned that it is suitable for use as a confinement material for reinforcing building materials . In addition, the product is subj ected to a chemical processing during the carbonization process of the product of the document .
Therefore , to address the disadvantages of the existing documents in the art , a low-cost , easy-to-applicable confinement element production method that does not require chemical processing in the carbonization process has been developed for use in reinforcement and repair processes of structural elements .
