Abstract
Composite coating (10) improves the resistance to blast or seismic forces of a structure (100), such as wall (101). Coating (10) includes a first layer (20) of elastomeric polyurethane in contact with and adhering to wall (101), a second layer (30) of elastomeric polyurethane in contact with and adhering to first layer (20), and a layer of textile (40) embedded between first layer (20) and second layer (30).
Claims25
A method for increasing the resistance of a structure to explosive forces, comprising the steps of:
- applying a first layer of a fluid precursor to an elastomeric solid to the structure;
- affixing textile over the applied first fluid layer;
- applying a second layer of a fluid precursor to an elastomeric solid over the affixed textile such that the affixed textile is covered by fluid precursor and fluid precursor fills the open spaces of the affixed textile;
- and
- allowing curing of the fluid precursors into elastomeric solids.
