Abstract
This paper aims to evaluate material property variation of polymer concretes under ultra-violet exposure condition. The components and mixing ratio of the polymer composite specimens were determined by the previous research results. The equivalent UV exposure time was calculated with the consideration of the power of metal halide lamp and maximum 3 years were selected for the experiments. From the tests, it was found that the generated heat during UV exposure affected much the material properties of polymer concrete by means of post cure. As a result, the compressive strength increased and ductility factor decreased.
