Title Of Article :
Investigation of sulfate resistance and alkali silica reaction in polymer-incorporating mortars
Abstract :
In this study, sulfate resistance and alkali silica reaction in mortars incorporating polymer were investigated. In this aim, normal portland cement and styrene-acrylic polymer emulsion were used. Mortar mixtures were prepared by replacing cement, with 0, 5, 10 and 15% polymer, by weight. 28-days compressive and flexural strength, water absorption and water sorptivity, porosity and unit weight of prepared mortar specimens were determined. Besides, sulfate resistance and alkali silica reaction resistance of prepared mortar mixtures were determined according to ASTM C1012 and ASTM C1260, respectively. Results obtained in polymeric mortar mixtures were comparatively evaluated with control mortar mixture.
