Abstract

In this study, polymer concrete (PC) samples were prepared with aggregate, standard sand and unsaturated polyester (UP) resin, the optimal gradation and formula were investigated by orthogonal test. Results show that aggregate gradation is the most important factor in PC mechanical properties. The optimal ratio of coarse aggregate to medium aggregate to fine aggregate was 1:2:1. The optimal contents of aggregate and UP resin were 60% and 12%, respectively. The maximum compressive and flexural strengths were 65.43 MPa and 21.51 MPa, respectively. Aggregates and sands had good distribution in matrix and formed the dense structure observed by metallographic microscope image.
