Effect of Association Natural-Recycling Aggregates (Crushed Glass and Waste Tire) on Mechanical Properties of the Concrete

Abstract

Abstract:This study relates to the use of the industrial waste as substitute to the natural aggregates. It relates to two types of waste: Crushed glass and waste tires. These wastes were incorporated into concrete for a partial substitution of the aggregates in the proportions of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% for the same matrix (mortar). The compressive strength and the mode of rupture are compared. The results show a decrease of compressive strength when the proportion of waste increases. Moreover, the compressive strength of concrete of used tire is lower than that of the concrete of crushed glass. Variation of the mode of rupture between these two types of concrete was also observed.
