That said, I do know that concrete mixed with latex produces a more flexible material with a higher structural damping loss factor. To exemplify, it can float on top of an elastic layer as is done for floating floors without cracking when mixed with latex.

Thank Claes!

I'll read the suggested literature!

you can use brushed rubbers as lightweight aggregates 

if you mean waste rubber, SCC can be produced using rubber as replacement for fine or coarse aggregate .

Suhab, I'm thinking of using some mineral admixture in SCC with rubber, you indicate me some?
