Adhesion in Flexure and Adhesion in Tension of Polymer Cement Mortar as Repair-Reinforcement Materials
The purposes of this study is to evaluate the adhesion in flexure and adhesion in tension between old-plain cement mortar and new-polymer cement mortar that has been widely used as finishing and repairing materials of RC structures. From the test results, the adhesion in flexure and adhesion in tension of polymer-modified mortar to plain cement mortar are much higher than that of plain cement mortar, and are increased with increasing polymer-cement ratio. The maximum strengths show at polymer cement mortar using EVA dispersion, and those are about 1.69 and 2.10 times respectively, plain cement mortar.
