RESUMO

Worldwide, steel pipes play an important role in many industrial sectors. Meanwhile, any kind of duct is prone to suffer superficial damages due to corrosion. In this sense, techniques which allow fast and reliable repairs of ducts have a fundamental importance to increase the life cycle, avoid accidents, minimize environmental contaminations and to keep their efficiency after the repair. Composite repairs are very important in the international scenario due to their high efficiency, low weight and accessible cost. According to previous studies in literature carried out at UnB, the ideal composite materials to repair steel pipes are carbon/epóxi and glass/epóxi, composing an hybrid repair, that is the solution most advantageous until the present moment. This repair mixes, in the same laminate, glass fibre layers with carbon fibre layers. With the objective to obtain information of technological relevance to industrial sectors which need to carry out preventive maintenance and emergencial repairs, a methodology to allow the geometrical parameters and number of layers of the repair will be carefully studied. In this way, the work will consist of numerical analyses in carbon steel pipes, with 100 mm diameter and 500 mm in length, that are damaged in the central region, and had been repaired with a cold cure epoxy resin, adopted as matrix, and hybrid reinforcing layers (carbon and E-glass fiber layers). With this work it was possible to verify that the repaired pipe with hybrid material restored the rigidity and the resistance of the perfect pipe in 90%, finding the best methodology to select the dimensions and the adequate materials of repair and being the most efficient on low cost repair. Therefore, the repair in analysis is projected for the worst case of damage (60% of the original pipe thickness), for a steel pipe 1010 and whose internal hydrostatic pressures do not exceed the rupture pressure calculated.
