Abstract

Concrete has been impregnated with a particular epoxy system using a combined vacuum-pressure technique. Compressive modulus and compressive strength of these concretes were determined and found to be a function of total porosity. Results are compared with data previously reported for polymer concretes based on other monomer systems.
