✦ Synopsis

A comparative study of the influence of chemical degradation effects on flexural and compressive strength of polymer mortars was performed. For this purpose, epoxy polymer mortars specimens were exposed to eight different degradation agents represent those that often account for corrosive processes in industrial environments. After exposure and mechanical tests a decrease in flexural and compressive strength of the samples exposed to corrosive agents was observed. However, even in those samples, the remaining strength values were far higher than those found in mortars prepared with portland cement concrete and an inorganic binder.

## Abstract Concrete protects the steel inside against several effects of the external environment. One of the most important of these effects is high temperature. Cover plays a critical role in concrete's protection on reinforcement against high temperature. In this study, the changes after high t
