4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does PMC stand for?
What kind of concrete incorporates polymers?
Name one property that PMC improves over standard concrete.
Think about adhesion to surfaces.
What key property of PMC significantly improves in comparison to traditional concrete?
Think about how concrete behaves under stress.
True or False: PMC has lower water permeability than standard concrete.
Consider the role of polymers in blocking water pathways.
Calculate the expected reduction in water permeability when using PMC compared to normal concrete, assuming the normal concrete permeability is 10^-5 cm/sec and PMC is 10^-7 cm/sec.
Use the formula for comparing permeability rates.
Discuss how the properties of PMC could influence the design of a bridge in a freeze-thaw climate.
Consider how environmental factors affect construction material selection.
