Abstract

In this study, methyl methacrylate (MMA)- modified polyester polymer concrete, in which the MMA was added to the unsaturated polyester resin, was developed for improving the early-age strength and the workability of the conventional polymer concrete, binder of which was the unsaturated polyester resin. Then the fundamental properties of the polymer concrete such as workability and strength were surveyed. The experimental results showed that the workability was remarkably improved as the MMA contents increased, and the filler-binder ratio was turned out to be important factor for the workability. Slump prediction equation was derived by the regression analysis based on MMA content and filler-binder ratio. Furthermore, early-age strength was greater when the MMA content were increased in the range of 20-40 % but the strength rather showed a tendency of decrease when the MMA content was 50 %.
