STATUS OF CONCRETE-POLYMER COMPOSITES IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD

THE DEVELOPMENT, TYPES, AND PROPERTIES ARE REVIEWED OF COMPOSITES OF PLASTIC OR POLYMER AND CONCRETE. SINCE 1965, MOST OF THE RESEARCH EFFORTS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE CENTERED ON PIC (POLYMER IMPREGNATED CONCRETE) - A HARDENED PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE WHICH IS IMPREGNATED WITH A LOW VISCOSITY MONOMER THAT IS POLYMERIZED IN SITU. BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY RESEARCHERS HAVE INDICATED THAT THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE TO START DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING PIC STRUCTURES AND BRIDGE MEMBERS. /AUTHOR/
