End-of-Life cars and trucks Tyres (ELT) are still an environmental issue around the world and in Latvia. The addition of rubber additives into concrete is quite well-studied worldwide. It is known that the introduction of rubber crumb in large quantities (> 5 % by volume) reduces the mechanical strength of the material and the modulus of elasticity. The results have shown us differences between rubber crumb practical size, and the amount of admixture in concrete. Achieved results clearly showed us the difference between shredded rubber micro granules and disintegrated-like admixture particles to achieve the composite concrete water absorption differences in 0,6 % but compress strength in greater diapason.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
