  • Abstract:
  • To address environmental concerns in the concrete industry, alternative materials and waste materials are being utilized. In this research, silica fume and shredded latex gloves are being studied. Silica fume is a common byproduct of the silicon industry, while shredded latex gloves pose a disposal challenge. The aim is to investigate the effects of adding shredded latex gloves at different percentages with silica fume as a partial replacement for cement. Five concrete mixes were prepared and tested for workability, mechanical strength, and durability properties. The results showed positive outcomes, especially with 0.3% shredded latex gloves and 10% silica fume replacement, compared to the normal concrete in the control sample.
