Abstract:
1. A compressible galvanic panel constructed for attachment to a concrete structure, comprising: a base layer comprising a backer board having a preformed shape; an adhesive applied over said base layer; a layer of compliant compressible air filled material having void spaces therein and held on said base layer by said adhesive; a layer of galvanic mortar applied over said layer of compliant compressible air filled material such that said layer of compliant compressible air filled material separates said adhesive and said layer of galvanic mortar and prevents passage of said adhesive and said layer of galvanic mortar therethrough; and a sacrificial galvanic anode material provided in said layer of galvanic mortar; and wherein said layer of compliant compressible air-filled material comprises a first side bonded to said base layer, a second side bonded to said sacrificial galvanic anode material, and a compliant compressible layer unfilled with said adhesive and said galvanic mortar; wherein said compliant compressible layer comprises an open air filled layer between said first and second sides of said layer of compliant compressible air-filled material which compressively absorbs stresses and expansion of corrosion products from said sacrificial galvanic anode material.
