This study was performed to check the feasibility of concrete polymer manhole through a development test of high strength polymer concrete and prepare fundamental data for design to solve the problems of the existing cement concrete manhole. The lower absorption capacity (0.39%) of polymer concrete will be more advantageous in installing manhole in an area with subsurface water. Also long working‐life (63 minutes) will be enough to establish manholes. Conclusively, the high strength polymer concrete that is the most important issue in development of polymer concrete manhole could be made. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
