Popis: In response to rapid constructions for marine structures, the authers hav conducted structural reserches on composite prestressed concrete structures, which consist of precast concrete blocks and filled-in concrete and steel pipe pile.Connections between precast concrete blocks of this method are bonded by epoxy resin of underwater-setting. To verify the reliability of the joints, a bending test was executed on specimens which were actually undersea. As long as the connection work is completed within 90 minutes of the application of adhesive, either in the air or underwater, the analysis of the test results shows that the bending and tensile strength of the joint can maintain values of 0.8 times and 1.5 times more, respectively than those specified in the Standard Specification for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures by the JSCE.
