In order to increase the durability of reinforced concrete structures is offered possibility to use industrial waste materials as fillers to epoxy resin-based repair materials. This is the main aim of the paper. Following industrial waste materials: waste foundry sand and blast furnace slag were used in the research. The best combinations of epoxy resins with industrial waste materials are looked for, in order to meet, for the final new materials, the requirements of present building industry. Research described in this paper is connected with the previous research performed at the Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic. Research at this Institute is trying to use industrial waste materials in the production of new building materials. These newly developed materials should protect bridge reinforced concrete structures, which are exposed to aggressive environment, against corrosion of reinforcement and deterioration of concrete mass. The protection will also extend the durability of reinforced concrete structures. One of the main advantages of mentioned new materials is lower price in comparison with industrially produced materials with similar characteristics. Waste materials are saving natural resources, which could be then used more effectively. Utilization of waste materials is also reducing environment pollution.
