Portland cement concrete has been used in construction because of its durability and cost-effectiveness. Due to various drawbacks of Portland cement concrete, such as weak flexural strength, low tensile strength, porosity, durability, etc., there has been an increase in interest in using natural latex rubber (NRL) in the development of high-performance concrete in recent years. In order to overcome the constraints of conventional concrete, the purpose of this research is to experimentally study the use of natural rubber latex in concrete by adding a small percentage of natural rubber latex to the concrete mixture to reduce the limitations of conventional concrete. The natural rubber latex would be included in the concrete as a polymer additive. When compared to plain concrete, adding rubber latex to the mix has been shown to improve the mechanical properties of concrete, such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength. The optimum NRL inclusion of 2% in plain concrete has improved the mechanical properties. Therefore, the project's primary goal of improving plain concrete's structural properties has been achieved.
