Yes it is. Concrete has almost no tensile strength on its own, which is why some form of reinforcement is used. Generally re-bar, steel shake, or fiber glass is used to improve and reinforce concrete.
Epoxy has a tensile strength of at least 2,400 psi. The compressive strength is almost 10,000 psi.
