Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to create environmentally-friendly temporary construction materials; biodegradable resin concrete. The manufacturing of biodegradable resin concrete was inspired by biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable resin concrete is made of aggregates of sand or gravel and biodegradable resin.
In this study, we focused on underwater environment and the strength reduction of underwater exposed biodegradable resin concrete was evaluated from three point bending tests and compression tests. As a result, the strength of biodegradable resin concrete degraded over time. Especially, the higher water pressure was provided, the more elastic deformation volume was increased.
