Abstract EN
The compressive strength of vinyl ester polymer concrete is predicted using the maturity method.
The compressive strength rapidly increased until the curing age of 24 hrs and thereafter slowly increased until the curing age of 72 hrs.
As the MMA content increased, the compressive strength decreased.
Furthermore, as the curing temperature decreased, compressive strength decreased.
For vinyl ester polymer concrete, datum temperature, ranging from −22.5 to −24.6°C, decreased as the MMA content increased.
The maturity index equation for cement concrete cannot be applied to polymer concrete and the maturity of vinyl ester polymer concrete can only be estimated through control of the time interval Δt.
Thus, this study introduced a suitable scaled-down factor (n) for the determination of polymer concrete’s maturity, and a factor of 0.3 was the most suitable.
Also, the DR-HILL compressive strength prediction model was determined as applicable to vinyl ester polymer concrete among the dose-response models.
For the parameters of the prediction model, applying the parameters by combining all data obtained from the three different amounts of MMA content was deemed acceptable.
The study results could be useful for the quality control of vinyl ester polymer concrete and nondestructive prediction of early age strength.
