Book Description

Materials characterization studies have described monomer formulation for a wide range of ambient temperature. Strengths have been determined as a function of time from casting, casting temperature, testing temperature, aggregate moisture levels, type and size of aggregate, and amount of coarse aggregate. Aggregate moisture (5 percent) was found to result in up to 80-percent loss in modulus of rupture, or 60 percent when steel fibers were used. Shear strength between polymer concrete and asphalt was found to decrease with increasing temperature. The strength was less than 15 psi at 100 degrees F. (Author).
