It is known that the bending strength of polymer concrete decreases with increasing the water content due to water penetration. Therefore, the structural performance of the polymer concrete product like a manhole under service condition should be evaluated considering time-dependent change in mechanical properties of the polymer concrete according to water ingress. This study experimentally clarifies how the compressive, tensile, bending strengths and stress-strain relationship of the polymer concrete subjected to water penetration changes over time by means of the systematic acceleration laboratory test. It was found that the time-dependent change of the water content and associated strength and stress-strain relationship of the polymer concrete specimens and can be numerically simulated by water penetration analysis based on a diffusion mode and the assumption of the correlation between the local water content and the mechanical properties.
