PROPERTIES OF FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER CONCRETE



PROPERTIES OF FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER CONCRETE


Abstract. 
Polymer concrete is a composite material realized with resin and aggre-gates.In the present study the epoxy resin was used for binding the aggregates.In the composition were introduced near the fly ash, used as filler, the cellulose fibers.The mechanical characteristics such as compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength of polymer concrete with fibers were investigated.  The fiber percentage was constant, the epoxy resin and the filler dosages were varied. The cellulose fiber had not improved the mechanical characteristics of the polymer concrete in comparison to that of polymer concrete without cellulose fibers.
Key Words: Epoxy Resin; Polymer Concrete; Fiber; Mechanical Strength.
