Polymerbeton aus Wüstensand – ein Projekt der angewandten Forschung / Polymer Concrete produced with Desert Sand – a Project of Applied Research

The use in building construction is a relatively new application of polymer concrete. In a research project a building block system and the fabrication technology for the reversible construction of buildings with regionally available aggregates were developed. In this paper the aspects of the successful material development are described, especially with regard to the characterization of both the binders and the polymer concretes, considering strength and durability.
