Characterization of Deformation Behaviour of Modified Polymer Concrete

Polymer concrete is a relatively young material that has been used in the building industry since the 1950s (known then as reactive resin concrete). Since the beginning of the 1980s, polymer concrete has been applied in mechanical engineering. Here, machine bases and components of fast-running machines have been made increasingly of polymer concrete because of its high damping properties for sound and mechanical vibrations and because it is simple to make complicated shapes with it.
