Criteria for Polymer Concrete on Airport Pavements
The advantages of polymer concrete (PC), when compared to portland cement concrete include, quick curing and setting, reduced moisture sensitivity and permeability and improved mechanical properties resulting in reduced pavement thickness to support the same load. The advantages lead to attractive life cycle cost benefits. Material properties and mix designs for PC with epoxy, methylmethacrylate and Polyester as the binder material have been investigated and presented in part I of the report. Part II contains pavement thickness design charts, developed for various aircraft, quality control methods, construction procedures and cost analysis. It has been shown in the study that increased material cost of PC can be offset by the reduced thickness of the pavement. In order to develop life cycle cost information, it is necessary to obtain field performance data of PC pavement, especially in the composite design mode.
