Original Abstract

The paper describes an experiment focused on observing the development of the elastic modulus and compressive strength in a polymer-cement mortar during the first 28 days of aging. The specimens (aged 3 and 28 days) were tested for the static and dynamic modulus of elasticity using two methods – the ultrasonic pulse velocity test and the resonance method. During the test of the modulus of elasticity in compression the mortar’s behaviour was also examined by means of the acoustic emission method, which is based on the recording of mechanical pulses caused by dilation waves generated by microcracks that form during loading. The outcome of the experiment is an evaluation of the polymer-cement mortar’s behaviour in terms of the development of its elastic modulus and compressive strength as well as in terms of the material’s acoustic response during loading.
