Calcestruzzi compositi con polimeri e additivi. Prestazioni meccaniche e comportamento al fuoco

This paper explains the features, the ways of preparation and the performances of the composite materials of concrete and polymers, starting from an historical premise and from the classifications and descriptions that allow to identify both composite materials typologies and the polymers that are used, to detect composition of the single composite for the specific performance. Furthermore, the paper analyze durability, resistance to external agents, mechanical performance and fire behavior. The contribution is completed by economical consideration.
