THE ROLE OF POLYMERS IN UNDERWATER AND SLURRY TRENCH CONSTRUCTION --THE PRODUCTION, PERFORMANCE AND POTENTIAL OF POLYMERS IN CONCRETE. 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON POLYMERS, BRIGHTON, SEPTEMBER 24-27, 1987

Non-dispersible concretes (ndcs) enable the difficulties inherent in placing concrete underwater to be overcome at the same time as improving the quality of the finished product. However, it is possible to produce several grades of ndc, and if the benefits of polymer modified concretes are to be exploited through extensive use it is important to select the most economic ndc which will perform satisfactorily in the prevailing conditions. The paper discusses the types of polymer and other admixtures that are effective in the production of a range of non-dispersible concretes and examines the economics.(a) for the covering abstract of this congress see IRRD 814075.
