Comparison of Nominal Mix Concrete with Polymer Based Concrete, an Experimental Study

Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to study about Physical, Mechanical, Magnetic and insulating properties of concrete with some compositions. The two samples were prepared in which concrete material is mixed with resin chemical compound and percentage of replacement of aggregate by silica floor and Kolam (rangier) without water and water curing, which is designated by Group I. Another composition is made without resin chemical compound and it is designated as Group II. In which four types of samples are prepared by replacement of aggregate by silica floor and rangoli (Kolam) and the sample is prepared with water and tasted at the age of 7 and 28 days of curing. The four samples is prepared as M1 M2 M3 and M4 in which M1 is mixture of cement, sand, aggregate, water i.e. M40 grade of concrete. M2 is replacement of percentage of aggregate by rangoli (Kolam). M3 is replacement of percentage of aggregate by silica floor, and M4 is replacement of aggregates by rangoli and silica floor. The electrical properties like resistivity, BDV, magnetic and compressive strength of samples with composition is studied. For above said testing the experimentation is carried out. As experimental observation it is conclude that the electrical properties as mentioned above is higher in Group I than properties of Group II. Hence Group I can be used in Electrical as well as Mechanical Engineering Field.
