Abstract
This research includes a study of the behavior of beams made from No-fine
concrete using 10 maximum size of aggregate and improved by SBR polymer. From
test results, the effect of addition of polymer to concrete leads to improved
compressive and flexural strengths, The beams improved by polymer failed under
loads more than the beams which were made from reference concrete. The percentage
increases in compressive strength for No-fines polymer concrete compared with
reference concrete were (41%, 58, 38%) for ages (3,7,28) days respectively
