This article examines the impact of various polymers on the mechanical and structural
properties of concrete. The goal of this project is to examine the mechanical and flexural properties of
reinforced concrete in polymers as compared to plain cement concrete. Different dosages of polymer are
used to alter the structure of cement concrete i.e 2.5% ,5%,7.5%,10%,12.5% and 15% . Additionally, 2%
steel fibers are also induced in the each dosage of polymer. The percentages of additives are obtained by
total weight of concrete.The first class consists of non-ionic polymers that have either nitrogen or oxygen
at their core. In this work, latex polymer with this specific composition is utilized. Synthesis can yield
molecular weights of these polymers in the millions . Several tests have been run without bringing about
any changes. The 3rd -point loading technique is used to test the flexural strength and properties of
concrete modified with polymers and plain cement concrete . Splitting tensile test and compressive
strength test are also cinducted as per ASTM standards .It becomes clear how different polymers affect
force and flow characteristics as well as the ideal dosage for each. A comparative study was conducted to
show how two different kinds of concrete affected the novelty and resistance characteristics of polymer
based concrete., this study combines computational modeling and lab experiments.
