Abstract | Polymer concrete is gaining increased popularity as a new construction material due to its high compressive, tensile and flexural strengths, short curing time, impact resistance, chemical resistance and freeze-thaw durability. It can be used to repair concrete structures, build slabs and beams of small cross sections and sleepers. There is a great potential of using this material in other structural applications as well. Research work in polymer concrete originated from well over couple of decades. In all of these research programs, either polymer concrete or mortar was made using different types and percentages of resin combined with sand, fly ash and coarse aggregate. The samples thus made were tested for the compressive strength, stress-strain relationships, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and flexural strength. However, there is no common agreement among the research community about the effect of fly ash on these mechanical properties of polymer concrete. |
