    Tensile Properties of Polymer Repair Materials - effect of test parameters

    Abstract

    In this research, five types of polymer repair materials were selected for investigation of
    the influence of sample shape, deformation rate and test temperature on the mechanical properties
    determined with an uniaxial tensile test. The results showed the clear effect of measurement
    conditions on tensile strength, elongation and modulus of elasticity. The highest tensile strength and
    modulus of elasticity were exhibited by epoxy resin for the filling of concrete cracks, which
    achieved 1% elongation. The lowest coefficient of dispersion characterized the results of tensile test
    carried out using dumbbell samples at a deformation rate of 50 mm/min. The effect of temperature
    varied with the material type.
