The permeable polymer-modified concrete has a lot of internal voids, which has more excellent performance in permeability and durability than asphalt and cement concrete. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to ascertain the strength properties of water-permeable polymer concretes with SBR latex and redispersible polymer powder. The water-permeable polymer concretes using SBR latex and redispersible polymer powder with water-binder ratio of 29 ％, polymer-cement ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 ％ are prepared, and tested for compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, water permeablility. From the test results, improvements in the strength properties of the water-permeable polymer concretes due to the addition of the SBR latex and redispersible polymer powder are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the void ratio, permeability coefficient and compressive strength of porous polymer concretes with unsaturated polyester. The porous polymer concretes using unsaturated polyester with polymer binder contents of 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.5% are prepared, and tested for void ratio, permeability coefficient and compressive strength. As a result, void ratio and permeability coefficient of porous polymer concrete decrease with increasing polymer binder content. However, the compressive strength of porous polymer concrete increase with increasing polymer binder content. The compressive strength of porous polymer concrete decrease with increasing permeability coefficient.

Covering polmer mortar as a filter for permeable polymer concrete on the base polymer concrete is nessary for good permeability from infiltration continuously. Therefore, three covering polymer mortars on the optimum base polymer concrete were cast immediatly following on the casting of the base polymer concrete. They are tested for compressive and flexural strengths, adhesion in tension, hardening shrinkage and permeability, and the effects of the mix proportioning factors on the properties of the permeable polymer concrete are discussed. From the test results, increase in the compressive strength and decrease in the coeffiecient of permeability of base polymer concrete are clearly obserbed with increasing filler-binder ratio. The base polymer concretes having a compressive strength of 9.4~28.3MPa and a coefficient of permeability of 0.12~1.93 cm/s can be produced in the consideration of the mix proportioning factors. Binder and filler contents in mix proportions had a great influence on the permeability of polymer concretes. The mechanical properties of permeable polymer concretes covered with polymer mortar using crushed stone are superior to other filters, and hardening shrinkage is the smallest in filters. It is apparent that adhesion between the base polymer concrete and polymer mortar is affected by the degree of hardening shrinkage. From this study, proper mix proportions can be recommended in the consideration of properties of the permeable polymer concrete.

In this paper, permeable polymer concretes with unsaturated polyester or vinylester resin content from 5 to 8 weight ％, resin-filler ratio of 1 : 1, sand content from 0 to 15 weight ％ and crushed stone of size 2.5∼10 mm were prepared, and tested for compressive strength, flexural strength and water permeability. The effects of the resin and sand contents on the properties of permeable polymer concrete were discussed. It is concluded from the test results that increase in the strength and decrease in the coefficient of permeability of the permeable polymer concrete arc clearly observed with increasing the resin and sand contents. The permeable polymer concrete showed compressive strength in the range of 170 to 350 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and flexural strength in the range of 40 to 90 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at coefficient of permeability from 0.1 to 1.0 cm/sec in this experiment.

This study was performed to determine the effects of filling materials on the physical properties of permeable polymer concrete. The filling materials were ground calcium carbonate, ground granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash. In this experiment, permeable polymer concrete mixtures with unsaturated polyester resin contents from 5 to 7 weight %, filler/resin ratio of 0~2.0 and crushed coarse aggregate passing 15 mm sieve were prepared and coefficient of permeability, void ratio, compressive strength and flexural strength were tested. As the test results, increase in the strength and decrease in the coefficient of permeability of the permeable polymer concrete were generally observed with increasing the resin contents and filler/resin ratio. The compressive and flexural strength of the permeable polymer concrete were in the range of 8.0 to 35.0 MPa and 2.0 to 9.0 MPa respectively and the highest strength was shown at the mixtures with 7 weight % unsaturated polyester resin contents, 2.0 ratio of filler/resin and filler of ground calcium carbonate. On the other hand, in the level of 20 MPa compressive strength, the mixtures with filler of fly ash was shown as the most economic permeable polymer concrete.

The aim of this paper was to improve the shortcomings of Pitcher Concrete, a conventional ethylene-based polymer used in combination with the other components, and present basic data for use as improved road pavement material by applying an acrylic polymer. Existing ethylene polymer-based pitcher concrete materials were selected. Acrylic polymer was then added and the resulting mixture was evaluated. The compressive strength of the existing ethylene-based polymer pitcher concrete combination was low due to the large air gap, and a compressive strength of 24MPa was observed on the 28th day of road use, as defined by KS for an acrylic polymer-based pitcher concrete combination. Regarding the bending strength, the combined strength of the acrylic polymer-based pitcher concrete was excellent, and the factor of the pitcher was measured above the reference, 0.1(mm/s), in all variables. All parameters measured were less than 1%. The acrylic polymer mixing characteristics were able to maintain the dynamic modulus of elasticity for more than 120 cycles, but not more than 80 cycles for the other combinations. Therefore, the addition of more acrylic polymer than conventional ethylene polymer base is effective in improving the durability.

Concrete sewage culvert shows degradation with time since it is always exposed to various harmful ions, and deterioration of concrete culvert propagates to structural safety problems. After reclamation, maintenance for concrete sewage culvert is very difficult so that high durable and structural performance are essential for the sewage concrete culvert. Recently polymer concrete has been used to improve mechanical properties and durability performance. In this paper, engineering properties are evaluated for sewage culvert made with polymer concrete, and leakage and adhesive strength between joints are evaluated with small-scale models. The polymer sewage culvert shows high compressive strength over 100MPa with low water permeability and chloride penetration. Furthermore, high resistances to chemical and biological attack are evaluated. Through tests for leakage and adhesive, unification of joints is verified with evaluation of no leakage and high adhesive strength. Precast polymer sewage culvert in this paper can be actively used for severe conditions like sewage lines.
