Effect of GGBFS as filler in polyester grout on strength development and flowability

Properties of polymer grout based on isopthalic unsaturated polyester resin (IUPR), methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP), river sand and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) have been designed, tested and discussed in this paper. Slag was used as one of the design component to investigate its...
