Methyl Methacrylate Polymer-Concrete for Bomb Damage Repair. Phase 1

Abstract

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymer concrete appears to be a material which can be successfully used to rapidly bomb damaged runways. A research program is underway to develop monomer formulations, determine engineering design properties, develop repair procedures, conduct field tests, conduct analytical studies, and develop an implementation manual. Research in Phase I has emphasized materials characterization, development of preliminary repair procedures, and analytical and experimental behavior of repairs. Materials characterization studies have determined monomer formulations and polymer- concrete mechanical properties for a wide range of ambient temperatures. Possible solutions for reducing adverse effects on strength of polymer-concrete made with wet aggregate have been studied. The effect of MMA on bond to asphalt has been determined. The effect of aggregate size on mechanical properties has been investigated.
