Physical and Mechanical Properties of Permeable Polymer Concrete

Permeable polymer concrete can be applied to roads, sidewalks, river embankment, drain pipes, conduits, retaining walls, yards, parking lots, plazas, interlocking blocks, etc.. This study was to explore a possibility of using stone dust and heavy calcium carbonate as fillers for the permeable polymer concrete. Different mixing pro-portions were tried to find an optimum mixing proportion of the permeable polymer concrete. The tests were carried out at 20 f 1 t and 60 ${\pm}$ 2% relative humidity. At 7 days of curing, compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths and water permeability ranged between 209~246kgf/cm$^2$, 101 ~ l2lkgf/cm$^2$, 36~52kgf/cm$^2$ and 3.076 ~ 4.390L/cm$^3\;^2$/hr, respectively. It was concluded that the stone dust and heavy calcium carbonate could be used in the permeable polymer concrete.
