POLYMER MODIFIED CONCRETE. FURFURYL ALCOHOL POLYMER CONCRETES FOR USE IN ALL-WEATHER REPAIRS OF CONCRETE AND ASPHALT SURFACES

A furfuryl alcohol-based polymer concrete (FA-PC) has been developed for use as an all-weather repair material for concrete asphalt surfaces. Criteria were established for this application. Optimized formulations were established, and prototype equipment for the mixing and placement of FA-PC was constructed and used. Field tests were performed under rainfall and dry conditions and at varying temperatures. All tests performed well and the FA-PC slurries exhibited self-leveling characterstics. Test results also indicated that the property requirements at an age of 1 hr were attained.
