Abstract

In This study aimed to improve the properties of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mortars mixed with field Para rubber latex (FPRL). The cement mortars mixtures were prepared with the partial substation of OPC by FPRL of 5, 10, and 15 wt% and were cured in water and at ambient temperature. The samples were prepared with water to cement ratio at 0.4 by weight. The main parameters were studied of setting time, compressive strength, bulk density, water absorption, and compressive strength after submerge in seawater. The results show that the mortar sample with 5% FPRL and cured in water condition was the highest compressive strength to the other samples. The cement mortars containing FPRL can be used the concrete pavement, paving block and concrete block for construction materials.
