Development of self-consolidating rubberized concrete incorporating silica fume
TLDR
In this paper, the effect of using silica fume on the development and optimization of self-consolidating rubberized concrete (SCRC) mixtures was evaluated. And the results indicated that the use of SLF helped to develop SCRC mixtures with improved strength and acceptable fresh properties with up to 25% CR.About:

Potential use of rubber as aggregate in structural reinforced concrete element – A review
TL;DR: In this article, a review paper summarises and compares independent research works and justifies weather these aggregates are possible to utilize improved behavior of concrete elements or not, and the results of these experimental studies are not sufficient to reach a general consensus on the application of recycled rubber in concrete and its effect on the behavior of structural elements.

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.

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.
