Abstract

Studies on Natural Rubber Latex Modified Fiber Reinforced High Performance Concrete (NRLM-FR-HPC) represent a significant area of research aimed at enhancing the properties and performance of concrete materials. This research focuses on incorporating natural rubber latex (NRL) and fibers into high-performance concrete (HPC) to improve its mechanical, durability, and sustainability characteristics. The present study explores the impact of volume percentages of natural rubber latex and steel fibre on the strength and flow properties of high performance concrete. In a similar vein, it is also established how steel fibres and natural rubber latex affect durability properties. The mineral supplement known as “Metakaolin” was imported from Gujarat’s Vadodara. Natural Rubber Latex is a polymer that comes from Calicut, which is located in North Kerala. The best polymer dose for HPC is determined by laboratory testing to be 0.5% of the binder’s weight. Based on the results of this investigation, 1% is the recommended optimal intake of fibre. Studies on Natural Rubber Latex Modified Fiber Reinforced High Performance Concrete represent a promising avenue for enhancing the properties and performance of concrete materials. By incorporating NRL modification and fiber reinforcement, NRLM-FR-HPC offers improved mechanical properties, enhanced durability, and increased sustainability compared to traditional concrete mixtures.
