Experimental investigation on flexural behaviour of latex modified silica fume based rc beam

The motivation behind the test examination is to describe the flexural and mechanical conduct of fortified solid bar with Poly Acrylic Ester (PAE) Latex and silica rage as incomplete swap for concrete. The latex changed cement are to be set up with different polymer-cover proportions with steady 15% silca seethe content substitution by volume of concrete. The percentage of latex content were varied as 7.5, 12.5 and 17.5 by the mass of binders (Cement and Silica fume). The optimum latex content is to be obtained from compression test results. A beam will be casted and tested with optimized latex modified concrete & control sample to elevate variations in its flexural & mechanical behavior as compared to control sample.
