15	Masoud Jamshidi	(1) Polymer concrete developed for replacement marble, binder, repair mortars and overlays in concrete structures, i.e., bridges, motorways, and pavements. These have points of fast curing, excessive mechanical strength.; (2) Crushed gravel and natural sand had been used. Compressive strength of polymer concrete combinations was once 80–100 MPa at day 7, and remained almost consistent at greater a long time, and tensile splitting strength was three times greater and the quantity of chloride ion diffusion for experiments had been negligible.; (3) Acid can no longer diffuse to polymer concretes due to the fact of barrier impact of resins. Therefore, greater chemical resistance resin reasons for higher overall performance of polymer concrete in acid solution.
16	Adhikary Suman Kumar, and Kumar Ashish Deepankar	(1) Aerogel is categorised into a hydrophilic and hydrophobic aerogel. Aerogel is a notably thermal insulating material with decrease mechanical properties. The demand for thermal insulating and sustainable cementitious composites is growing to reduce power consumption and enhance the building’s thermal insulation. Incorporating carbon nanotubes into the aerogel concrete can extensively enhance mechanical performance.; (2) He reviewed the following end result the compressive strength varies 0.1––150 MPA and density 198–2200 kg/m^3 and thermal conductivity 0.09–2.3 W/m.k.; (3) An excessive attention of aerogel-based cement composite can also appreciably reduce the compressive strength; however, it gives outstanding thermal insulation performance.
17	Tomáš žlebek et al.	(1) Silica sand dorsilit was once used solely for reference compounds in order to examine resulting values.; (2) The suitability of the use of waste glass in polymer anchor materials. Waste glass is appropriate filler due to its excessive silicon dioxide content, which has impeccable physical and mechanical properties and exact chemical resistance.; (3) Waste glass with fractions varies from 0–0.63 mm. The substances with packaging glass exhibited the exceptional properties with the reference dorsilit sand.
18	Dora Foti	(1) The crack patterns got on the specimens have been analyzed to reveal the relevance of an appropriate thickness of the reinforcement to achieve an effective mechanical behavior of the strengthened concrete element over time.; (2) Rheoplastic mortars is successful to enlarge the strength of structural factors in masonry buildings and strengthened concrete structures; (3) A relative displacement between the surface of the reinforcement and the matrix reasons the improvement of an interfacial stress.; (4) An appropriate and suitable thickness confining transverse reinforcement would be wished to keep away from a brittle fracture of the mortar, even though the latter can also have an excessive compressive strength.
19	S T wicaksono	(1) Thermal properties and mechanical strength of kenaf composite are most reliable to different kind of herbal fibre polymer composites, for that reason viewed as a appropriate applicant for high-performance herbal fibre polymer composites.; (2) Hybrid composites had been fabricated by using keeping an unsaturated polyester (UP) loading of 80% by way of weight in all the composites. The addition of CaCO3 (CC) into kenaf/polyester composite was once evaluated.; (3) Polyester (80 wt%) + kenaf fibre (17.5 wt%) + CaCO3 (2.5 wt%) is higher than all.; (4) When the degree of agglomeration increases, the interactions between the filler and the matrix come to be weaker and, as a result, the values of the tensile strength decrease
