Unsaturated polyester(UP) and epoxy resin require 8${\sim}$11 hours long harding times and heating systems used by reinforcement liner. This study is to evaluate the effects of low temperature harding property of UP with methyl methacrylate(MMA) monomer mixing proportions.

PURPOSES : This study deals with the working life of polymer concrete, which is typically used as a repair or overlay material for portland cement concrete pavements. METHODS : In the scope of this study, laboratory testing was conducted on fresh MMA modified UP polymer concrete, which uses an MMA monomer for viscosity adjustment and strength improvement of UP resin. The experimental variables were temperature (-20 to $+20^{\circ}C$) and binder components (MMA, MEKPO, and DMA). RESULTS : The result showed that the optimum binder ratios for polymer concrete production were 12, 11, and 10 wt.% when the MMA contents were 20, 30, and 40 wt.%, respectively. The working life of polymer concrete depending on temperature and binder components could be expressed by a logarithmic functional formula. The coefficient of variation for each binder component was the highest for DMA content while the lowest for MEKPO content. Also, the contents of each binder component for ensuring the working life of 60 minutes were proposed. CONCLUSIONS : Ultimately, the present study derived a linear regression equation estimating 60 minutes working life based on the setting times of each binder component.

This study was conducted to evaluate strength characteristics of various polymer concretes which were produced using materials available in Korea. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength were evaluated in this study. Eight different polymer binders were used, including two types of epoxy resin, five types of unsaturated polyester resin, and a type of MMA monomer. The results of this study showed that the product made from PC-100 of SH company was the best performing concrete. However, since this result was based on strength and economics point of view, further study has to be conducted for comprehensive analysis.

The unsaturated polyester(UP) and epoxy resin have a superior material properties and a chemical resistance using sewerage pipes rehabilitation. However, UP and epoxy have not a low temperatures harding, the requirement $8{\sim}11$ hours long times harding and heating system used by reinforcement liner. This study is to evaluate the effects of low temperature harding properties methyl methacrylate(MMA) monomer using expanded polystyrene(EPS) and UP in addition of initiator and promoters. From the test result, viscosity tends to increase with increasing EPS and UP contents. However, harding time change of the MMA resins which it follows in addition of the initiator and promoter.
