N2 - The paper aims at analysing the performance of Polyester Polymer Concrete (PPC) reinforced with steel and FRP rebars. The PPC is also compared with conventional cement concrete. On the one hand, the effect of the polymer matrix microstructure on the mechanical performance (compression and flexural strength, deformability and Young's modulus) is discussed. On the other hand, static and dynamic bond behaviour under pure pull-out forces between the PPC and different rebars is tackled. It is analysed the behaviour of metallic and non-metallic rebars embedded in a PPC matrix when they are subjected to both monotonic and cyclic loads. Likewise, analogous tests were performed on cement concrete specimens in order to be able to compare the bonding performance in both types of concrete.
