POLYMER CONCRETE CREEP

Problem statement. It is well known that creep is the tendency of a solid material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of stresses. The aim of the paper is to study the process of creep in polymer concretes. Results and conclusions. It is shown that creep in polymer concrete occurs according to the same pattern as in many other polymer composites with the elastic core. Equations which indirectly es-tablish the relation between complete deformations of polymer concrete, including the creep de-formation, and the time of loading for the case where a structural diagram passes through the origin of the coordinates are obtained.
