| Abstract: | This study focuses on the substitution effect of standard sand of cement mortar by different ratios of white sand to prepare white sand cement mortar. The prepared samples were first cured under tap water for different time intervals 3, 7, 28 and 90 days. The effect of addition of 10% styrene–acrylic ester as well as the effect of different doses of gamma rays on the physico-mechanical properties of polymer modified white sand cement mortar specimens also, discussed. Compression strength test, total porosity and water absorption percentages were measured. The results were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis studies. |
