The scope of this paper is to provide a systematic review of the main influencing factors of
unsaturated polyester resin concrete (UPC), including the unsaturated polyester resins (UP) …

Marble industry produces large amounts of waste marble–what causes environmental
problems. In paving blocks based on two cement types we have partly replaced aggregate …

Huge amounts of mud and other residues are yearly being produced by various countries as
a waste product by the marble and granite (MGR) industry, causing serious threats to the …

Epoxy resin, fly ash, and silica sand were used to produce polymer concrete reinforced with
glass, carbon, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and high strength steel micro-fibers. The effects of …

We have added expanded vermiculite and polypropylene fibers with low thermal
conductivity to lightweight gypsum. Thermal conductivity of the composites decreases on …

Cement and water-to-binder ratio were kept constant as 400kg/m3 and 0.40, respectively.
Cement was replaced with fly ash at the ratio of 10, 20 and 30wt.%. Coarse limestone …

Investigating the tensile strength (σ t) and mode I fracture toughness (K Ic) of polymer
concrete (PC) materials due to their quasi-brittle behavior is of great interest to engineers. In …

This study investigates the mechanical properties of lightweight polymer concrete (LWPC)
containing four different polymer ratios (10%, 12%, 14%, and 16%) tested at three different …

Radiation shielding effects of ferrochromium slag loading hardened epoxy resin samples
were investigated. Five different samples including different percentages of epoxy resin and …

This study investigated the thermal resistance of lightweight concrete with recycled coal
bottom ash and fly ash. Specimens were exposed to temperatures up to 800° C then cooled …
