In the construction and infrastructure sector, efforts are being made to find faster and more efficient materials. Polymer concrete (PC) challenges traditional concrete with its fast setting, durability and abrasion resistance. While studies on PC strength are abundant in the literature, studies on the effects of resin amount on damping capacity are fewer than mechanical performance. In this paper, the effect of resin proportion on damping capacity is investigated by modal tests. PC mixtures in the production with different resin proportions (11‒19%) were poured into molds of 10x25x500 mm, using aggregates of up to 3.15 mm in size. After 14 days, the natural frequency and damping ratios of the specimens up to 1000 Hz were determined in modal tests. While the damping ratio (DR) decreased in resin contents up to 17%, the results of the specimens with 19% resin ratio increased. However, when the products with the same resin ratio are analyzed, the random distribution of the aggregate affects the damping capacity. The main reason of negative correlation between resin amount and DR is the filler amount in the mixture. Because of the production consistency, fluidization of all the mixtures is prevented by adding fillers. Therefore, the impact of the resin amount on DR is limited or even negative. Besides that, to compare measurement results finite element method (FEM) analyzes are conducted. It can be said that the natural frequencies are not suited well especially in high frequency ranges due to frequency dependent properties (visco-elastic) of PC.
