In this study, durability of concrete whose surface were treated by nano-composite hybrid polymer type coatings, which can provide a barrier against the ingress of moisture or aggressive ions to concrete, is discussed. For the durability evaluation of the coated concrete, chloride ponding test, accelerating carbonation test, porosity measurement test, and the SEM test are conducted. As the result of this study, it is found that nano-composite hybrid polymer type coated concrete has a much higher resistance to the ingress of chloride ion, carbon dioxide, moisture and aggressive acid than plain concrete has.

Porous Concrete usually contains large amount of voids(about 10∼20%) after compaction so that it has relatively high permeability. It has been introduced in domestic since early 1980's but it has problems such as lack of optimized mixture, low strength and durability, and other defects, etc. The purpose of this study is to manufacture high-performance porous concrete using polymer to enhance the mechanical properties. The results of this study are as follows; the compressive strength range 12 92∼207kgf/㎠, the tensile strength range is 14∼28kgf/㎠, the bending stength range is 42∼73kgf/㎠, and the coefficient permeability range is 5.77×10-2∼6.79×10-1cm/sec. To develope high-performance porous concrete. further studies are needed on optimum mixture of fineness modulus and admixture.

Recent advance in material technology has accelerated the development of high strength concrete using lightweight artificial aggregates. The lightweight concrete has many advantages that the reduction of dead lads and the increase in load capacity can ofter. In this study, lightweight polymer concrete using unsaturated polyester resin and lightweight aggregate were prepared and tested for testing the physical and the mechanical properties. The compressive strengths of lightweight polymer concretes with specific gravities from 1.32 to 1.78 were compressive strength of 250 to 470 $kgf/cm^2$ and flexural strengths were measured to be in the range of a third to a quarter of compressive strength

The use of steel fiber reinforced to improve the strength and flexural toughness of concrete is well known, but reinforcement of polymer concrete with steel fibers has been hardly reported till now. Polymer concrete has high strength, durability and freeze-thaw resistance than that of cement concrete, but it has disadvantage such as low flexural toughness. In this paper, the strength characteristics and flexural toughness of steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete are investigated experimentally with various steel fiber aspect ratios($\ell$/d), and contents(vol.%). As the result, the flexural and splitting tensile strengths and flexural toughness were increased aspect ratio, and reach the maximums at a aspect ratio of 50. The relationship between the compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strength were high. And the relationship between flexural strength and strain energy was approximately linear.

본 연구는 섬유 보강 폴리머(Fiber Reinforced Polymers, 이하 FRP) bar로 보강된 콘크리트 깊은 보의 전단강도를 평가하기 위하여 전단경간비, 보강비, 주근의 종류를 변수로 총 6개의 실험체에 대한 전단 실험을 수행하였다. 전단실험을 토대로 FRP bar로 보강된 콘크리트 깊은보의 균열 및 처짐에 대한 거동 조사를 수행하였으며, ACI 318-08의 스트럿-타이 모델을 이용한 전단강도와 아치작용을 고려한 기존 제안식에 의한 전단강도를 비교 평가하였다. 그 결과, FRP bar로 보강한 실험체와 철근으로 보강한 실험체는 상이한 전단거동을 보였으며, FRP bar로 보강한 경우의 전단강도가 철근으로 보강한 경우보다 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 전단강도 산정에 있어서는 ACI 318-08의 스트럿-타이 모델을 이용한 방법이 기존 제안식에 의한 방법보다 상대적으로 정확했다.

By applying the newly developed techniques of polymer impregnated concrete (PIC) severely deteriorated and low quality concrete can be restored to an adequate structural material. Early deterioration of concrete causes severe problems for bridge deck concrete, pavement concrete for highways and airports, hydraulic structures and buiilding structures. Deterioration has its orgin in cracks on concrete surface, scaling of spalling due to freezing and thawing, neutralization of concrete, penetrations of water, salt, and calcium chloride. The objective of this study is to develope the new surface impregnants and strengthening techniques for them. It is found that the new impregnants and strengthening techniques developed in this study can retian the charecteristics of the existing concrete and decrease deterioration, and also increase durability, chemical resistance, strength, stiffness and ductility of the existing concrete.

This is an experimental study to investigate chante of early strength of polymer concrete due to curing temperature change. Polymer binders that were used in the experiment include 2 types of epoxy system and 4 types of polyester system which are commercially producer in Korea. The study result showed that there was a difference in early strength by curing temperature. At $35^{\circ}C$ which is a higher than normal curing temperature, higher strengths were developed in polymer concretes prepared with KB-Clear and YD-128 of epoxy system, and G-550 and H-660 of polyester system. However, at the same temperature, reduced strengths were obtained for FH-103 and TR-132 of polyester system. Further study under various curing conditions with humidity and temperature change will warrant more generalized result.

Polymer-Impregnated Concrete(PIC) can be considered composite material of concrete and polymer and has superior properties compared to conventional cement concrete, such as strength, stiffness, toughness, durability, water-proofing, chemical resistance. However, so far, the usage of PIC has been limited to repairing materials and non-structural applications, due to the lack of the design criteria and the analytical model to determine structural behavior. The objective of this study is to define the stress-strain response and strength characteristics of PIC in uniaxial and various biaxial compressive loading. On the bases of experimental results, general stress-strain relation, biaxial failure envelope and strength evaluation formular of PIC made with normal aggregate and methylmethacrylate(MMA) are proposed.

Recently, the usage of polymer concrete mortar gathering an interest as a new construction material rapidly increases inside and outside of the country because it is an environment-friendly and endurable material. However, up to these days, the researches about the polymer composite have not been satisfactorily conducted. The polymer concrete is superior to the general cement materials in the properties of strength and durability while it is inferior in elastic modulus. Because that the members using the polymer concrete have therefore higher strength and ductility than the members of general cement concrete, an analysis equation of high-strength cement concrete can be referenced but it is not applied for the researches about the polymer concrete members. In this study, the flexural properties of T-shaped beam of the steel- and GFRP-reinforced polymer concrete are analyzed to examine the suggested analysis equation. Results of this experimental researches are to be used as the basic data in a structural design of the polymer concrete.

Resins using recycled PET offer the possibility of a lower source cost of materials for making useful polymer concrete products. The purposed of this paper is to form a part of reducing the damage of sulfuric acid, through investigating recycled PET polymer concrete, . immersed at sulfuric acid solution for 84 days. Recycled PET PC is excellent chemical resistance, resulting in the role of unsaturated polyester resin which consists of polymer chain structure accomplishes bond of aggregates and filler strongly. Also, Recycled PET PC, used fly-ash as filler, is stronger resistance of sulfuric acid corrosion than $CaCO_3$, because it is composed of $SiO_2$ and very strong glassy crystal structure. Therefore, Recycled PET PC, used fly-ash as filler, is available under corrosion circumstances like sewer pipe or waste disposal plant.
