Application of PC and PMC in Industry and Industrial Environment

Abstract:

Abstract: Polymer concrete and polymer-modified concrete have been widely used around the world since the 1970s. Polymer concrete has been used for repair of portland cement concrete, for overlays and for precast components. Polymer-modified concrete has been used extensively for overlays for bridges and parking facilities and as a thin spray-on mortar for exterior surfaces.
