Abstract:
The Air Force Engineering and Services Center (AFESC) at Tyndall AFB, Florida is currently engaged in a seven-year research and development effort to rapidly repair bomb damaged concrete runways. Polymer concrete because of rapid cure and high strength is one of the most promising methods of repair. The problems of moisture, temperature extremes and mechanization are all being studied for development of a rapid all-weather polymer concrete repair system. Research includes work at the University of Texas at Austin, AFESC, Battelle Columbus Labora-tories, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the BDM Corporation. Polymers being considered include acrylics, epoxies, polyesters and furans.

Epoxide resin concrete produced by vacuum impregnation of a prepacked aggregate has handling properties and stiffness (40 GN/m 5 reatly improved at 70 C) when compared with conventionally mixed and placed epoxide resin concrete. This material has been developed for superconducting turbogenerators, but with its improved qualities coupled with high strength (150 MN/m ), resistance to aggressive environments, impervious nature, low shrinkage and electrical resistance a wide range of applications is forecast.

As we have become more and more concerned with the con-servation of energy and materials, interest has grown in improv-ing the strength, toughness, ductility, and durability of port-land cement concrete or in finding replacements that exhibit a superior cost-property balance. Thus one approach has been to im-prove the properties of concrete itself; another-the subject of this paper-is to combine the two technologies of concrete and high polymers, using not only familiar kinds of concrete but also less familiar ones. It should be noted that combinations of siliceous materials with polymers require in many cases lower energy inputs per unit of performance than either component alone. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of current re-search and unsolved problems with the various classes of polymer-concrete materials. While a comprehensive review of the litera-ture is not within the scope of the paper, the general state-of-the- art is described, principal areas of research are illustrated with typical examples, and areas needing further research are suggested. Indeed, significant progress has been made recently in both fun-damental and applied research on all kinds of polymer/concrete systems. It is suggested that further progress to achieve sophisticated understanding, design, and materials selection will still require much work in combining the science, technology, and economics involved.

Polymer impregnated concrete (PIC) was overlaid with a low slump dense concrete (LSDC) or a latex modified concrete (LMC). Flexure strength, compressive strength, and freeze-thaw durability data were obtained on the composite specimens. Flexural data indicated a strong bond was established between LSDC, LMC, and PIC. Compressive strength data indicated the bond was weaker for the LMC than the LSDC. Freeze-thaw data showed that a durable bond was established between the PIC and the LSDC whereas the bond failed between the PIC and the LMC.
