Abstract
Polymer concrete is used for a wide range of precast structural applications and repair works for existing infrastructures. For these applications, one of the key mechanical propertiesthatneed to be consideredis the elastic modulus. In this study, the relationship between elastic modulus and compressive strength of polymer concrete made with three different types of resin (i.e., unsaturated polyester resin, acrylic resin, and epoxy resin) is comprehensively investigated using data sets available from previous studies in order to develop a prediction equation for elastic modulus that can be generally applied to polymer concrete. Results showed that the equation developed under this study can be reasonably adopted for the predictions of polymer concrete's elastic modulus as a function of compressive strength because the prediction equation has a high goodness of fit asrepresented by a R2 value of 0.77
