The subject of polymer concrete (PC) has generated a lot of interest among researchers during the past decade. This is due to the many advantages that polymer concrete pavement offers compared to regular portland cement concrete. The advantages of polymer concrete, when compared to portland cement concrete include, quick curing and setting, reduced moisture sensitivity and permeability and improved mechanical properties resulting in reduced pavement thickness to support the same load. These advantages will lead to attractive life cycle cost benefits. Material properties and mix designs for PC with epoxy, methylmethacrylate (MMA) and Polyester as the binder material have been investigated and presented in part I of this report. Part II contains pavement thickness design charts, developed for various aircraft, quality control methods, construction procedures and cost analysis. It has been shown in this study that increased material cost of PC can be offset by the reduced thickness of the pavement. In order to develop life cycle cost information, it is necessary to obtain field performance data of PC pavement, especially in the composite design mode. Keywords: Compressive stress, Modulus of elasticity. (kr).

Pavements are omnipresent in our society. From roads and airports to parking lots and driveways, every civil engineering project requires applications of this complex subject. Pavement Engineering covers the entire range of pavement construction, from soil preparation to structural design and life-cycle costing and analysis. It links the concepts of mix and structural design, while also placing emphasis on pavement evaluation and rehabilitation techniques. State-of-the-art content introduces the latest concepts and techniques, including ground-penetrating radar and seismic testing. The text facilitates a general course for upper-level undergraduates, covering the selection of materials, mix and structural design, and construction. It also provides laboratory and field tests accompanied by a discussion of new and advanced concepts. This unique text prepares the next-generation of engineers with the core principles and application knowledge needed to maneuver in the ever-expanding pavement engineering industry.
