Popis: Resin Concrete uses polymeric resin to replace cement concrete. Four types of polyester resins were identified with Methyl methacrylate as catalyst, calcium carbonate and fly ash as fillers along with river sand and coarse aggregate size of 10mm, 6mm were used to produce resin concrete. Seventy-two trial batches were carried out for preliminary investigation targeting compressive strength of more than 80 MPa (11.6 ksi) and four batches were shortlisted. These four batches along with the addition of glass fiber were taken for detailed investigation of stress strain behavior, young�s modulus, Poisson ratio, various correlative equations among their mechanical properties and durability properties. Developed mix can be recommended for manufacturing various polymer products.
