ACI SP-166:1996 PDF Download

ACI SP-166:1996 is a standard that contains 11 symposium papers that were presented at the 10th and 11th symposia held in 1993 and 1994. The symposium papers are focused on the properties and uses of polymers in concrete. The papers cover various topics related to polymer concrete technology, including flexural and fracture properties of glass fiber reinforced polyester polymer concrete, performance of steel-polymer concrete composite structural elements, measurement of shrinkage-induced stress in polymer concrete overlays, and shear and flexure behavior of reinforced polymer concrete made with recycled plastic wastes. Other topics include strength properties of polymer concrete made with resins based on recycled plastic waste, thermal stresses in polymer concrete overlays, fatigue of polymer-modified porous concrete, latexes for Portland cement, polymer-modified concrete overlays on industrial asphalt floors, timed release of polymers inside concrete to reduce permeability, low-shrinkage polymer concrete, and comparisons of epoxy polymer concrete to Portland cement concrete applied on slab-on-grade and bridge decks. Additionally, the standard includes a paper on epoxy asphalt concrete and design considerations for buried gas distribution system vaults made with fiber reinforced polymer concrete. The standard concludes with SI (Metric) tables and an index.
