Research of polymer concrete fracture parameters
Abstract
The present article reviews the problem of polymer concrete fracture mechanics. These construction materials can be effectively used in industrial building structures. They combine strength and chemical resistance and unlike ordinary concrete don’t require protection from aggressive environment. We have studied samples of polymer concrete with different composition; have determined the parameters of cracking resistance. In our studies we have used the photoelastic coating method, which keeps the advantages of photoelastic methods and at the same time eliminates the difficulties of mock-ups building. We have also conducted experiments on dynamic distribution of cracks in polymer concrete. We have received the numerical value of crack rate at its flooding development, which may permit to solve a problem of crack stopping in polymer concrete structures.
