Experimental study on effect of silica sand as partial fine aggregates replacement in epoxy polymer cement concrete

Conventional concrete which is produced by the mixture of cement, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and water is less environmental friendly due to calcination and mining of sand in river and sea. Polymer concrete is thus promoted where the cement and fine aggregates are replaced partially within...
