Mechanical Properties of Graphene-Modified Epoxy Grout for Pipeline Composite Repair

In general, when the pipeline experiences metal loss on the external surface, epoxy grout has always be used to fill the gap before fibre reinforced composite can be applied to recover the pipeline strength. In this research, the existing commercially available epoxy grout has been strengthened usin...
