ABSTRACT Polymer concretes (PCs) are known to be less permeable to water, but its usage is less popular in tropical countries like Nigeria because its common binder, thermoset resins, are very sensitive to rising temperature. This sensitivity to temperature accelerates the polymerization process and this jeopardizes its early strength development, thereby producing a PC with low workability and high porosity. To address  this, polymer inhibitors with addition of Methyl Methacrylate ...

ABSTRACT Fibrous Concrete Composite (FCC) is a high performance concrete that possesses an improved tensile strength and ductility under sustained load compared to Plain Concrete (PC). As a result of global search for sustainable, renewable and green materials to achieve a bio based economy and low carbon foot print environment, the use of fibre to produce fibrous concrete composite has continuously received significant research attention. Due to the growth amount ...
