This research was performed to provide strength property of porous polymer concrete using unsaturated polyester resin depending on the amount of binder and planting properties on coverage ratio and growth of plants in planting polymer block through planting of cool-season grass and herbaceous plant in porous polymer block. The compressive strength of porous polymer concrete depending on the binder contents and aggregate sizes were in the range of 17.1 to 23.2MPa. In the planting polymer block with Tall fescue, Perennial ryegrass and Alfalfa, the coverage ratio (in 12 weeks after seeing) were more than 7 point regardless of the kinds of plants, respectively. The roots length of plants in planting polymer block completely passed through not only the block with height of 5 cm but also the block with height of 10 cm in 20 weeks after seeding. Planting polymer block with Tall fescue, Perennial ryegrass and Alfalfa indicates that it will be advantageous to environment-friendly greening works such as greening of slopes and revetments

Currently, reuse of solid waste from disused infrastructures is an important environmental issue to study. In this research, polymer concrete was developed by mixing orthophthalic unsaturated polyester resin, artificial microfillers (calcium carbonate), and waste aggregates (basalt and limestone) coming from the recycling process of concrete sleepers. The variation of the mechanical and physical properties of the polymer concrete (compressive strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, density, and water absorption) was analyzed based on the modification of different variables: nature of the recycled aggregates, resin contents (11 wt%, 12 wt%, and 13 wt%), and particle-size distributions of microfillers used. The results show the influence of these variables on mechanical performance of polymer concrete. Compressive and flexural strength of recycled polymer concrete were improved by increasing amount of polyester resin and by optimizing the particle-size distribution of the microfillers. Besides, the results show the feasibility of developing a polymer concrete with excellent mechanical behavior.
