The Impact of Using Different Ratios of Latex Rubber on the Characteristics of Mortars Made with GGBS and Portland Cement

Abstract Preserving natural resources and implementing the concepts of sustainable engineering to approach zero waste concept helped in reducing detrimental environmental effects last two-decade. Proposed re-using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) as an alternate solution is get rid them profit from concurrently. In this process, GGBS used cement substitute material enhance mortar characteristics. On other hand, required water for concrete mixture should be characterized by several characters, which similar drinkable water, therefore, using Latex Rubber a substitution reduces demand such construction industry. project, percentages that have been were 0%, 10%, 30%, 50% compatible with (0, 10, 20 30) % Rubber. Suitable tests performed measure properties setting time, compressive strength Permeability test (Electrical resistivity). The results obtained indicate time reduced increasing spite proportion binder. Additionally, amount leads decrease electrical resistivity mortars.
