Mix Design Of Polymer Concrete For Pothole Repair

The increased traffic load due to rapid urbanization causes pavement distresses resulting reduction of service life of flexible pavement. Pavement distress is harmful to road user and vehicle, and it causes accident. Polymer concrete having several advantages can be considered as alternative materi...

Mix Design Of Polymer Concrete For Pothole Repair
description The increased traffic load due to rapid urbanization causes pavement distresses resulting reduction of service life of flexible pavement. Pavement distress is harmful to road user and vehicle, and it causes accident. Polymer concrete having several advantages can be considered as alternative material for pothole repair. Thus, this study has focused on mix design development of polymer concrete through various performances. In this study, orthophthalic unsaturated polyester resin as binder, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) as hardener, acetone and lacquer thinner as diluent, fly ash, silica fume, limestone coarse and fine aggregates, and limestone quarry dust as filler have been used.
