EFFECT OF POROSITY ON THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AND ELASTIC MODULUS OF POLYMER IMPREGNATED CONCRETE

THREE CONCRETES OF WIDELY DIFFERING WATER/CEMENT RATIOS WERE IMPREGNATED WITH VARYING AMOUNTS OF METHYL METHACRYLATE MONOMER. THE MONOMER WAS POLYMERIZED THERMALLY, USING A FREE RADICAL INITIATOR. THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AND ELASTIC MODULUS OF THE POLYMER-IMPREGNATED CONCRETE ARE SHOWN TO BE A FUNCTION OF THE TOTAL POROSITY OF THE CONCRETE AFTER POLYMER IMPREGNATION. THE ELASTIC MODULUS OF THE COMPOSITE SYSTEM CAN BE EXPLAINED ON THE BASIS OF A TWO PHASE MATERIAL: AN AGGREGATE PHASE AND A POLYMER IMPREGNATED CEMENT PASTE PHASE. /AUTHOR/
