Abstract: A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) test procedures and length-change measuring devices on the measured CTE values. Twenty different coarse aggregate sources were tested ...

Abstract: The paper is a summary of the results of an experimental program conducted at the University of Texas to investigate the structural behavior of 7 shear wall assemblies used in manufactured housing. Variables studied include ...

Abstract: The structural behavior of steel‐reinforced polymer concrete (PC) beams using unsaturated polyester resin binders based on recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste is evaluated. Steel fibers are also used ...

Abstract: Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate), or PET, is mainly recovered from plastic beverage bottles and can be used to produce unsaturated polyester resins. Polymer concrete (PC) made with these resins was investigated for ...

Abstract: Polymer concrete (PC) has been widely used for floor and bridge overlays, but because of the differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion between Portland‐cement concrete (PCC) and PC, there is concern about possible ...

Abstract: The University of Texas at Austin conducted a study for the City of Austin to evaluate the performance of commercially available trenchless spot-repair methods in the City's wastewater pipelines. This paper reports short-term ...

Abstract: Polymer concrete is a composite material that consists of inorganic aggregates bonded together by a resin binder. The material can be used effectively in a variety of structural applications such as transportation, utility, ...

Abstract: In the interest of increasing allowable limits of microfine

Abstract: ASTM C 33 limits the amount of aggregate smaller than
