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.
