Abstract

Methyl methacrylate styrene and acrylonitrile homopolymer as well as copolymer impregnated concrete specimens were subjected to accelerated durability tests in aqueous sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, ammonium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, sea water and crude oil media. The effects of such corrosive stagnant environments on compressive strength, flexural strength, strength of transverse rupture and modulus of elasticity have been studied. A durability mechanism has been proposed to account for the observed behaviour of polymer impregnated concrete.
