Abstract:This article investigates the mechanical properties of cementitious repair mortars modified with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) at dosages of 5% and 10% by weight of cement. It includes an analysis of flexural strength (FS) and compressive strength (CS), as well as transport properties such as total shrinkage (SR) and water absorption (WA). Glass fibers (GF) were added to these mortars at rates of 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% of the total volume to reinforce them. A factorial design was employed in numerical modeling … Show more
