    abstract = {Polymer modified mortar and concrete are innovation of concrete that provide better characteristics
of bond strength, freezing-and thawing resistance, abrasion resistance, flexural and tensile strengths,
permeability and elastic modulus. Previous researches have proven that natural polymer modified concrete
achieved high compressive strength and durability. This research wanted to investigate compressive and
splitting tensile strength of polymer modified concrete using amylum and honey. The polymer modified
concrete has compressive strength design of f&#146;<sub>c</sub> = 30 MPa . There were 3 categories and 24 compositions for c
each category, A-F and control specimens. Compressive test was conducted at ages 7, 14 and 28 days while
splitting tensile test at age 28 days. The result met conclusions that optimum composition of polymer modified
concrete with amylum and honey for best performance of compressive and splitting tensile strength achieved
by category 2 on specimen KT-0.03-G and also amylum and honey provide good bond mechanism and
compactness for natural polymer modified concrete.}
