RESIN CONCRETES: A LITERATURE REVIEW
ALTHOUGH THERE SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD INTEREST IN RESIN CONCRETES, THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF PUBLICATIONS ON THIS SUBJECT, IN CONTRAST TO THE NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS ON THE SPECIFIC RESINS (BONDING AGENTS). THE PUBLICATIONS ON RESIN CONCRETES HAVE MAINLY BEEN REPORTS OF SPECIALIZED INVESTIGATIONS. THE AUTHORS GENERALLY AGREED ON THE ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES, AND APPLICATIONS OF RESIN CONCRETES. THE MAJOR ADVANTAGES ARE HIGH STRENGTH, BONDING ABILITY, AND RESISTANCE TO WEAR, MOISTURE, AND ABRASIVES. THE MAJOR DISADVANTAGES ARE HIGH COST OF MATERIALS, DIFFICULTY OF HANDLING, AND REDUCTION IN STRENGTH DUE TO TEMPERATURE INCREASE. THE MAJOR APPLICATIONS ARE FOR JOINING, REPAIRING, LINING, AND COATING PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE AND FOR SPECIAL APPLICATIONS WHERE CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS ARE NEEDED (I. E., HIGH STRENGTH, BONDING ABILITY, OR CHEMICAL RESISTANCE). A RESEARCH PROGRAM TO PROVIDE A BASIS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RELIABLE DESIGN CRITERIA AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR USE OF RESIN CONCRETE IN SUCH CORPS APPLICATIONS AS INTAKE CONTROL GATES AND NAVIGATION LOCK FILLING AND EMPTYING GATE CHAMBERS IS PROPOSED.
