Abstract

Polymer concrete outperforms its counterpart Ordinary Portland Cement -53 (OPC-53) concrete in terms of its highly desirable mechanical properties. It is emerging as a new construction material due to its high compressive, tensile and flexural strengths, short curing time, impact resistance, chemical resistance and durability. In this present experimental study epoxy resin was used to make epoxy polymer concrete. Samples were prepared by mixing epoxy resin with Ordinary Portland Cement-53, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. The compression strength, flexural strength, water absorption and co-efficient of friction were carried out on the epoxy polymer concrete specimens. It has been found that epoxy polymer concrete can achieve higher compression strength of 39.46 MPa at 28 days and higher flexural strength of 5.72 MPa at 28 days than the normal cement concrete. The average water absorption percentage is 70 % minimum for epoxy based polymer concrete than the normal cement concrete. The variation of co-efficient of friction with change of sliding load for epoxy polymer concrete under different operating condition has been found to be higher than that of normal concrete specimens. It is also observed that co-efficient of friction increases with the increase in normal and sliding load for epoxy polymer concrete compared with normal cement concrete in all the conditions.
