Polymer-Impregnated Concrete(PIC) is a new polymer-concrete composite material which consist of basic cement concrete and polymer. The mechanical properties and behavior of PIC depend on the type of polymers and the impregnation techniques. In general, the polymer impregnation can improve the strength, durability and ductility of normal concrete. The objective of this study is to develop the analytical procedure for analyzing the structural responces of polymer-impregnated concrete beams with different polymer loading by using finite element method on the basis of experimental results.
