Abstract: | Two polyester-based polymer concretes with various volume content of diabase as an extender and aggregate are tested in creep
under compression at different stress levels. The phenomenological and structural approaches are both used to analyze the
experimental data. Common features of changes in the instantaneous and creep compliances are clarified, and a phenomenological
creep model which accounts for the changes in the instantaneous compliance and in the retardation spectrum depending on the
stress level is developed. It is shown that the model can be used to describe the experimental results of stress relaxation
and creep under repeated loading. Modeling of the composite structure and subsequent solution of the optimization problem
confirm the possibility of the existence of an interphase layer more compliant than the binder. A direct correlation between
the interphase volume content and the instantaneous compliance of the composite is revealed. It is found that the distinction
in nonlinearity of the viscoelastic behavior of the two polymer concretes under investigation can be due to the difference
in their porosity.
