Conclusions
-
1.
Laboratory and full-scale investigations showed the possibility of using coatings of epoxy-coal tar foamed plastic for insulation-waterproofing of hydraulic structures in regions with a rigorous climate.
-
2.
It was established that in the case of the same insulating effect the insulation-waterproofing of epoxycoal tar foamed plastics is one of the most economical in the construction of structures by any method.
-
3.
For zones of a variable water level, on structures not subjected to the effect of ice, insulation-water-proofing with a protective enclosure of glass-reinforced plastic can be recommended. Under constant ice conditions it is necessary to use coatings with a sheet-metal enclosure.
-
4.
In connection with the increased shrinkage of the epoxy-coal tar foamed plastics the thickness of coatings on their base should not exceed 5cm. It is necessary to continue the search for cheap foamed epoxies not having a high shrinkage.
