Abstract: | The results of experimental investigation of polyester resin and polymer concrete at a long-term (four-year) exposure to water and air with 98% RH are presented. The polymer concrete was composed of a polyester resin as a binder, lime flour, quartz sand, and granite chips. The resin content in concrete was 20 wt.%. The features of sorption properties of the materials investigated are discussed. Data on the water effect on the compressive strength in short-term loading are reported. The creep tests of virgin polymer-concrete specimens were carried out for five years at different stress levels from 0.11 to 0.44 of the short-term prismatic strength. The effect of moisture on the creep behavior was also studied. |
