TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the complete bond-slip behavior between deformed reinforcement bars and concrete incorporating rubber particles from recycled tyres as a partial replacement for mineral aggregates and provided a direct interpretation of bond behaviour under practical levels of confinement and its influence on the failure modes.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation into the cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete members incorporating a significant proportion of recycled rubber particles as a replacement for mineral aggregates is presented. But the results of the experiments are limited to the case of large-scale members of circular cross-section.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the creep response and long-term strength properties of unconfined and FRP-confined concrete materials incorporating relatively high proportions of recycled tyre rubber particles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the environmental and geochemistry impact of recycled aggregate concrete production with properties representative for structural applications, and showed that the concrete with 50% recycled aggregate presented lower increase, only 0.3% and 3.4% for normal and high strength concrete, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation into the inelastic cyclic performance of reinforced concrete members incorporating mechanical reinforcement splices is described, and the results show that members incorporating reinforcement bars connected through threaded mechanical couplers can provide considerable ductility and energy dissipation.
