Hence, it is important to find out the performance of polymer with the time during the process of excavation till the time of concreting, polymer fluid must retain its properties for its efficient working as a borehole stabilizer, making essential to study this effect.
Concrete-polymer composites are generally one of three classifications, i.e., polymer-modified (or cement) concrete (PCC), polymer concrete (PC), or polymer-impregnated concrete (PIC) (Chandra and Ohama 1994).
Potential recycling solution was assessed by mechanical behaviour of resultant GFRP waste modified concrete-polymer composites with regard to unmodified materials.
For this purpose, i) among the several available recycling techniques for thermoset based composite materials, the most suitable one for the envisaged application was selected (mechanical recycling); and ii) an experimental work was carried out in order to assess the added-value of the obtained recyclates as aggregates and reinforcement replacements into concrete-polymer composite materials.
Some overlays include low slump concrete formulations, polymer concrete, epoxies, certain methyl methacrylates, and polymer-modified concrete (Sohanghpurwala 2006).
Second, wooden fittings, e.g., tee branches or reducers, are not feasible contrary to fittings made of steel, concrete, or polymer material.
Mechanical properties, such as: compressive strength, flexural strength, elasticity modulus, pull-out stress and adherence stress between cement concrete and polymer concrete were experimentally determined.
In this study, a modified retrofit method based on substrate repairs was developed, which is bonding CFRP after replacing V-notch of substrate concrete with polymer mortar.
Through the experimental program, the effects of the following parameters were investigated: (i) type of additional punching shear reinforcement; (ii) concrete with polymer fiber; (iii) slab thicknesses of 120 and 180 mm by adding pyramidal drop panel.
For CCFT columns, glass FRP GFRPP) tube was used to confine the inner concrete, and polymer grid was used to confine the outer concrete.
