TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental results of mechanical behavior under static and dynamic loads of specimens made of concrete filled with small volumetric fractions of crushed tyre rubber and polypropylene short fibres, at 7 and 28 days, are compared with results of concrete specimens of similar features without fibres or tyre.

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of a high-strength concrete (HSC) with silica fume (SF) modified with different amounts of solid particles recycled from crumbed used truck tires is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of water-to-cement ratio and percentage of polymer in the setting time, rheology and physical and mechanical properties of a Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber (SBR) Latex Modified Mortar (LMM) was analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental analysis on a new composite material, cork-gypsum composite, is presented, which is shown that cork and plaster are mutually compatible and a lot of new building materials can be made by mixing those materials in different volume fractions.

TL;DR: In this article, a newly developed analytical model for predicting the impact behavior of soft armours is presented, which can be used to calculate the armour ballistic curve as well as the impact force, the tension in each layer, the displacement and velocity of the layers and projectile, the yarn stresses and strains and the damaged area.
