Abstract

The structural behavior of regular reinforced polymer concrete and lightweight reinforced polymer concrete (both with and without fibers) will be discussed. Members are being subjected to tests in flexure, shear, torsion and axial compression. The mechanical properties of the different materials are being developed so that a theoretical analysis can be compared to the test results. Also, long term effects of creep and temperature are important. A testing program consisting of six reinforced concrete joints with varying strength cementing agents in the joint region : 1) normal strength concrete (f//c prime equals 4,000 psi); 2) high strength concrete (f//c prime equals 10,000 psi); and 3) polymer concrete (f//c prime equals 12,000 psi) will show the benefits of using polymer concrete. Half of these beam columns contained 1-1/2 percent by volume of hooked end fibers.
