Abstract
Air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases related to the manufacture of clinker for the manufacture of cement, leads to consider the use of a natural binder other than cement for the stabilization of laterite. This laterite-rubber is a new sustainable material for construction and building. In this work, a study on the amount of ammonia to delay the coagulation of latex for use as a stabilizer was conducted. In addition, tests of water resistance, absorption and mechanical tests were carried out on this new material to define its properties. 3% ammonia was used to delay coagulation of the latex. 0 to 30% latex content was used to stabilize laterite specimens. The tests carried out on these different test pieces gave the following results: 15% latex specimens dissolve completely in water while 20% test specimens dissolve completely in water; 25% and 30% are water resistant. The absorption rate decreases as the latex content increases in the test pieces. t goes from 14,45% for the specimens to 15% to 5.87% for the 30% test pieces. The compression test shows an increase in resistance from 0.37 MPa for latex-free specimens to 3.15 MPa for 30% latex specimens. Also, the study of the mechanical properties (rheological behavior) shows that the specimens have a plastic behavior when the latex content increases.
