Abstract Although concrete based on mineral binders is most commonly used in construction, polymer concrete is on the rise lately. This is due to the fact that polymer concrete allows to expand concrete usage in civil and industrial construction thanks to its properties. However, there is extensive research on including thermoplastic polymer. Construction polymer concrete materials have high compressive strength, as well as atmospheric, cold and chemical resistance, thus resulting in long term lifetime. This paper suggests a technological process of producing concrete based on polyvinyl chloride and lightweight porous aggregate, e. g. fly ash that comes from Vladimir combined heat and power plant (used to run on coal). There are up to 80 thousand tons of this aggregate in stock. It turns out that technological parameters of this process are strongly intertwined with compound. Research indicates that lightweight polymer concrete based on polyvinyl chloride and fly ash can be achieved under certain technological parameters. A new polymer concrete was created as a result of this research having the following properties: density - 800-830 kg/m3, compressive strength - 12-13 MPa, impact strength -16-18 kg/m2, coefficient of thermal conductivity - 0.16-0.18 Wt/m.K, frost resistance - at least a 100 cycles.

Barite concrete with density grade of 3 and strength grade of C30 was prepared by mixing with different fineness of fly ash. The workability, mechanical properties and long-term high temperature performance of the prepared barite concrete were researched. Results show that the workability of barite concrete is improved by mixing with fly ash, and no segregation of mixture has been observed. The apparent density and 3d, 28d compressive strength of barite concrete are decreased obviously after mixing with fly ash. But with the increasing of the fineness of fly ash, the apparent density and 3d, 28d compressive strength of barite concrete have a slight increase. High temperature residual compressive strength is decreased with the increasing of temperature. The cycle times of heat treatment at 400°C only has a little effect on residual compressive strength of barite concrete.

The durability of building composites with polymer matrix, such as polymer concretes, is considered high or excellent. However, very few studies are available that show the properties of such composites tested long after the specimens’ preparation, especially composites with fillers other than traditional rock aggregates. The paper presents the long-term compressive strength of polymer concrete containing common and alternative fine fillers, including quartz powder (ground sand) and by-products of the combustion of Polish fossil fuels (coal and lignite), tested nine or 9.5 years after preparation. The results were compiled with the data for respective specimens tested after 14 days, as well as 1.5 and 7 years. Data analysis confirmed the excellent durability of concrete-like composites with various fillers in terms of compressive strength. Density measurements of selected composites showed that the increase in strength was accompanied by an increase in volumetric density. This showed that the opinion that the development of the strength of composites with polymer matrices taking place within a few to several days was not always justified. In the case of a group of tested concrete-like composites with vinyl-ester matrices saturated with fly ashes of various origins, there was a further significant increase in strength over time.

The analysis of influence of fly ash additive to concrete on the basis of cement CEM IIIA 32,5 N on the tightness and strength was presented in the paper. Researches were carried out for three types of concrete made with the use of CEM IIIA 32,5N LH HSR NA cement. The basic recipe of concrete does not contain the additive of fly ash, while two other concretes contain the fly ash additive in an amount of 25% and 33% of the cement mass. Laboratory investigations of the concrete samples were carried out under conditions of long-term maturation in the range of the water tightness and the depth of water penetration in concrete, compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete at splitting. Keywords: concrete testing, furnace cement, fly ash additive, water tightness of concrete, strength of concrete.

The present study appraises the recitals of carboxylic acid- based admixture to increase concrete water tightness and self-sealing capacity of the cement and geopolymer concrete. Outcomes of the previous studies in particular, adding 1% by cement mass of the carboxylic polymer reasons for reduction in the water dispersion under pressure of 7-day wet cured concrete by 50% associated to that of the conforming reference concrete. At 7 days, M4 mix compressive strength is about 43.5% less than M3 mix. The compressive strength of M4 increases and is about 37.6% less than M3 mix at 28 days of curing. At 7 days, M4 mix split tensile strength is about 17.5% less than M3 mix (cement concrete with 0.45 w/c ratio). The split tensile strength of M4 declines and is about 42.3% less than M3 mix at 28 days of curing. The strength of the geopolymer concrete tends to increase as the time period increases due to the presence of fly ash in it. So it is expected that geopolymer concrete will give more strength than cement concrete in long term with the presence of carboxylic acid

Polymer concrete is one kind of which is used as an additive of the binding material. Due to their high thermal stability, tensile and flexural strengths, high compressive strength and resistance to chemical, its popularity increasing rapidly and which is now widely used as a construction material. This paper explores a research study that has been establishing a standard correlation between concrete compressive strength with the amount of polymers and other ingredients. Hence a comparison was made between the conventional concrete and polymer concrete. As per ASTM C31, the mix design of polymer concrete is calculated and estimated the material quantity. In this research, a total of twenty-two trail mixes of polymer concrete were prepared with different amount of epoxy resin and hardener. In implementation of experimental program compressive strength test was performed for conventional concrete, polymer resin (epoxy resin) concrete with resin percentage 10%, 12%, 15%, 17% and 20% was performed and compared the results with polymer concrete (no-fly ash) with polymer concrete (fly ash) percentage 15%. It was found that the compressive strength of the polymer concrete was increased with increasing the percentage of a polymer. Compressive strength of the 17% and 20% polymer resin-based polymer concrete was 46.75 MPa and 48.32 MPa and cost was around 1,17,110.00 TK and 1,37,152.00 TK; respectively and also it was observed that by using fly ash the strength of the concrete could be increased significantly. It can be said that higher strength can be achieved with a comparatively high cost. However, the cost can be reduced by proper materials selection, mix ratio, curing and adequate quality control of the material.

Introduced the concept of “Cementitious Coefficient” of fly ash, theoretical formula of strength of HFCC at a certain age was found with two variables: actual water-binder ratio and micro-aggregate-binder ratio. Development regularity of compressive strength of HFCC was studied and formula of long-term strength coefficient D28t was settled. Influence of actual water-binder ratio and micro-aggregate-binder ratio on long-term strength of HFCC was analyzed. Experimental results showed that along with the single-factor increase of actual water-binder ratio and micro-aggregate-binder ratio, growth rate of long-term strength of HFCC increased; influence of actual water-binder ratio was deeper than that of micro-aggregate-binder ratio.
