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.

Epoxy is generally stronger than concrete in terms of compressive and tensile strength. Epoxy has a higher strength-to-weight ratio and can have a stronger bond with materials like steel. However, concrete is better at withstanding compression loads and is more durable in outdoor environments.

Why is concrete stronger then mortar?
Concrete is stronger than mortar because mortar is a mixture of cement, sand and water but concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water. Thus concrete forms a stiff mix than mortar.
What thermosetting plastic is a speedboat made from?
If it is plastic (many speedboats are metal) it will be the plastic Epoxy Resin (exactly the same as the glue) with fiberglass cloth to reinforce it. Epoxy Resin is very strong but somewhat brittle (like concrete), the fiberglass prevent cracks in the Epoxy Resin from growing and reinforces it (like the steel rebar in reinforced concrete does).
What is epoxy coating used for?
Epoxy coating is most commonly used to protect steel pipes in pipeline production, concrete reinforcement bars and a wide variety of piping connections and valves to protect them from corrosion.
What resin bonds glass to concrete?
Epoxy resin is commonly used to bond glass to concrete due to its strong adhesive properties and resistance to moisture and chemicals. It provides a durable and long-lasting bond between the two materials.
Is rebar stronger than regular steel?
Yes, rebar is typically stronger than regular steel because it is specifically designed for use in construction to provide tensile strength and reinforcement for concrete structures. Regular steel may have more malleability or other properties suited for different applications.
What is an epoxy surfboard?
an epoxy surfboard is when a surfboard is made out of epoxy resin this is more stronger and lighter than the normal fiber glass and they can have more stronger colours than fiber glass this can be done without the silk laminating process
What is the stronger super glue or epoxy?
In most uses, epoxy is stronger.
What is epoxy mortar?
Epoxy resins are used with aggregate (silica sand) to produce epoxy mortar or epoxy concrete, which is used for structural repairs of concrete.
Is wet concrete stronger than dry concrete?
no
What is stronger concrete or Mortar?
Concrete is stronger than mortar.Because mortar is a mixture of cement, sand and water but concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, gravel and water. Thus concrete forms a stiff mix than mortar.Hence the concrete is more stronger than cement.
Is concrete heavier than soil?
not but your thi bone is stronger than concrete
What is stronger than concrete?
steel
Is bamboo stronger than concrete?
yes
Anyone know a cheaper way to patch a drained in ground concrete pool other than using concrete?
Have a look at some of the epoxy products.
Is human thigh stronger than concrete?
yes
Why is concrete better than wood?
concrete is better than wood because concrete is much stronger and that's why most of the building are made out of it
What is the best adhesive or epoxy for rock to concrete?
Epoxy if not much to glue. PL200 in caulk tubes if there is lots to glue.
