Prediction of Flexural Strength of Concretes Containing Silica Fume and Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) with an Empirical Model

prediction compressive strength of concretes containing silica fume and styrene-butadiene rubber (sbr) with a mathematical model

this paper deals with the interfacial effects of silica fume (sf) and styrene-butadiene polymer (sbr) on compressive strength of concrete. analyzing the compressive strength results of 32 concrete mixes performed over two water-binder ratios (0.35, 0.45), four percentages replacement of silica fume (0%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%) and four percentages of sbr (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%) were investigated. a mathemati...

Influence of (SBR) Latex and Silica Fume on Properties and Performance of Cement - based Repair Concretes

Influence of (SBR) Latex and Silica Fume on Properties and Performance of Cement - based Repair Concretes

service life prediction of silica fume concretes

deterioration of concrete structures in the gulf region is a serious problem. penetration of chloride ion into concrete is responsible for such early deterioration. determination of chloride diffusion coefficient is an effective way to predict the service life of concrete structures. in order to investigate the performance of concrete mixtures in such environments, ordinary and silica fume conc...

An Investigation on In-situ Strength and Bonding Strength of Polymer Modified Concretes (PMC) as Repair Overlays on Conventional Concrete Substrate

Polymer modified concrete (PMC) consists of Portland cement concrete with a polymer modifier. Its advantages are proper bonding strength to substrate concrete, high tensile and flexural strength and low amount of shrinkage and permeability. Using PMC overlays can be considered as a method for preservation of damaged concrete structures due to their suitable performance and durability. In this r...
