Scrap-tyre-rubber replacement for aggregate and filler in concrete

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of concrete mixtures incorporating 5%, 7.5% and 10% of discarded tyre rubber as aggregate and cement replacements was investigated, and the results showed that with up to 5% replacement, in each set, no major changes on concrete characteristics would occur, however, with further increase in replacement ratios considerable changes were observed.

Use of tire rubber particles as addition to cement paste

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface modification of powdered tire rubber to increase its adhesion to cement paste was studied and the results of fracture energy and flexural and compressive strength showed that the addition of rubber particles improves the toughness and reduces the porosity of the specimens.

Mechanical properties of concrete containing a high volume of tire-rubber particles.

TL;DR: Ulasonic analysis reveals large reductions in the ultrasonic modulus and high sound absorption for tire-rubber concrete, and a significant decrease in the brittle behavior of concrete with increasing rubber content is also demonstrated using nonlinearity indices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Properties of rubberized concretes containing silica fume

TL;DR: In this article, a test program was carried out to develop information about the mechanical properties of rubberized concretes with and without silica fume, which were obtained by partially replacing the aggregate with rubber contents varying from 2.5% to 50% by total aggregate volume.
