Determination of the influence of polymer admixture quantity on some modified concrete properties is shown in this paper. Experimental work included several types of concrete made with same cement content (250 kg/m3), and same consistency (slump about 5 cm), and with 0, 4, or 8 % admixture of polymer (dry material) by weight of cement. Recycled brick or combination of river sand and recycled brick were using as aggregates. The influence of polymer on concrete properties was observed. Analyzing results of investigations it can be concluded that polymer modified concrete based on recycled bricks has approximately the same value of compressive and bending strength, better waterproofness and frost resistance, smaller shrinkage strains, worse modulus of elasticity and slightly greater creep strains than concrete without polymer.
