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.

The use of rubber tire particles in concrete to replace mineral aggregates

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the replacement of mineral coarse aggregate by rubber tire aggregate is investigated, and the authors found that the incorporation of these rubber tire chips in concrete exhibited a reduction in compressive and flexural strengths, the reduction in compression strength was approximately twice the reduction of flexural strength.
