“…Comparable trends in the results obtained by researchers (Li et al 2004a, Li et al 2004b, Garrick 2005 where yarns from waste tires were used; however the type and dimensions of yarns used in the said tests were different from the yarns used in our tests. The tire cord yarn can be used like addition for concrete.…”

“…The most similar tests were done in the US (Li et al 2004a, Li et al 2004b, Garrick 2005 where yarns from waste tires were used; however the type and dimensions of yarns used in the said tests were different from the yarns used in our tests. In these tests (Li et al 2004a, Li et al 2004b, Garrick 2005 tires were cut into trips by hand. It was determined, that compressive strength of the rubberized concrete decreases because of the weak bond between the waste tire and concrete matrix.…”

“…The concrete without waste tire failed a lot sooner than the rubberized concrete, concrete with rubber is much tougher than concrete without rubber. These researchers ( (Li et al 2004a, Li et al 2004b, Garrick 2005) done conclusion, that waste tire modified concrete can be used in industrial floorings such as factory and warehouse floors where the increased impact resistance and post-cracking ductility will be beneficial.…”

Abstract. Trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive for military and industrial applications, can cause serious environmental pollution. 28-day laboratory pot experiment was carried out applying bioaugmentation using laboratory selected bacterial strains as inoculum, biostimulation with molasses and cabbage leaf extract, and phytoremediation using rye and blue fenugreek to study the effect of these treatments on TNT removal and changes in soil microbial community responsible for contaminant degradation. Chemical analyses revealed significant decreases in TNT concentrations, including reduction of some of the TNT to its amino derivates during the 28-day tests. The combination of bioaugmentation-biostimulation approach coupled with rye cultivation had the most profound effect on TNT degradation. Although plants enhanced the total microbial community abundance, blue fenugreek cultivation did not significantly affect the TNT degradation rate. The results from molecular analyses suggested the survival and elevation of the introduced bacterial strains throughout the experiment. Keywords: TNT, bioaugmentation, biostimulation, phytoremediation, microbial community.

“…Rubber particles exert a positive influence on the toughness of the composite, because they have a great capacity to absorb dynamic loads and resist crack propagation, especially if compared to ordinary concrete (Li et al 2004). The examination of load -deflection curves confirms higher toughness of rubberized composites, which allows for greater deformation without disintegration (Jingfu et al 2008).…”

Abstract. In line with current "green" transport initiatives, Croatia plans to build over the next investment period a high speed railway line which will connect central Croatia and its capital with coastal regions of the country. According to design documents, the track system will be built using ballastless concrete solutions. In the scope of the project "Concrete track system -ECOTRACK", researchers from the University of Zagreb -Faculty of Civil Engineering analysed a new material, i.e. the rubberized hybrid fibre reinforced concrete (RHFRC), in order to find out whether its properties are adequate for the proposed concrete track system. The RHFRC contains by-products from mechanical recycling of waste tyres (rubber and steel fibres). The study of fibre and rubber interaction and their contribution to mechanical properties of the fibre reinforced concrete is presented, as extensive research on positive interaction between industrial and recycled steel fibres has not as yet been made. The results show that the RHFRC is an innovative, sustainable and cost-effective concrete, which is fully compliant with criteria prescribed in relevant standards.Keywords: fibre reinforced concrete, industrial steel fibres, recycled steel fibres, mechanical properties, recycled rubber, waste tyre.

“…Guoqiang et al utilized waste tires in two forms of fibers and chips in concrete. They have reported that the performance of fibers in concrete is better than chips and strength and stiffness of fiber reinforced concrete is higher than chips reinforced concrete 26 . Ghailan used waste industrial fibers as aggregates in concrete and reported that stiffness modulus of reinforced concrete with waste steel fibers is higher than plain concrete and comparatively high corrosion resistance against salts and acids was achieved 27 .…”

Nowadays, the use of different waste fibers in concrete has started to increase rapidly due to some reasons such as economic savings and positive effects on the environment. In this study, waste steel wires taken from reinforcement and formwork which were previously utilized in construction projects, were employed in structural lightweight concrete (SLWC). The objective was to investigate the possibility of using this type of fiber as reinforcement in the SLWC. Compressive, tensile, flexural and impact tests were performed for investigating the mechanical properties of 28-day reinforced lightweight concrete specimens with the waste wires. The percentage of wire in the fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) was 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% in the volume fraction of the concrete. According to the results, by using waste wires, flexural, tensile and impact characteristics of SLWC were effectively improved. Moreover, it was concluded that waste steel wires could be used as a suitable micro reinforcement in the SLWC.
