Abstract:Major infrastructure projects often demand high performance concrete with properties such as high flexural strength, toughness, resistance to abrasion and high durability. Polymer modified concrete facilitates to enhance the flexural strength and serviceability of concrete structures. In this study, the potential of Natural Rubber Latex (NRL), a natural polymer, as an alternative to synthetic latex for enhancing the performance characteristics of concrete is explored. Natural rubber latex is added in concrete … Show more
