Effect of fly ash on the behaviour of polymer concrete with different types of resin

Recent durability studies on concrete structure

“…Apart from conventional air-entraining agents, some kinds of additives with appropriate amount are beneficial for the enhancement of the resistance of freeze-thaw in recent researches as well. These additives include synthetic zeolite [97], organic resins [98], encapsulated siloxane [75], fiber [99,100] and nano particles [101].…”

Materials in machine tool structures

“…In Ref. [177] the influence of resin, sand and fly ash contents on the compressive and flexural strength as well as split tensile strength was investigated. It has been found that polymer concrete mortar can achieve compressive strengths in a range of 90-100 MPa.…”

Characterization of compliant polymer concretes for rapid repair of runways

“…The ductility factor l [15] is defined by Eq. (4) using the compressive stress-strain relationship of the materials to measure and evaluate their compliance.…”

“…where e 1 is the approximated limit of the elastic strain point, which is the crossing point of the peak stress and the extension line of the linear elastic region, as shown in Fig. 4, and e 2 is the strain at 85% of the peak stress in the plastic region [15]. The mixing ratios of the test specimens were determined on the basis of a standard polymer concrete composing an aggregate-to-polymer ratio of 80:20 by weight presented by the previous work [8].…”
