“…Furthermore, the addition of crumb rubber can also decrease density of concrete while increase drying shrinkage (Sukontasukkul and Tiamlom 2012;Ho et al 2012). Nevertheless, the cracking resistance was improved due to the enhanced strain capacity (Huang et al 2013). In addition, replacement of natural aggregate with rubber particles provided significant increase in toughness and ductility as well as better damping capacity of the concretes (Nehdi and Khan 2001;Hernandez-Olivarez et al 2002;Gesog and Guneyisi 2007;Reda Taha et al 2008).…”

In the past decades, incorporating crumb rubber into concrete has attracted attention in the field of building materials due to the properties improvement it brought. In this study, crumb rubber of two particle sizes (40CR and 80CR, which have a sieve size of 400 μm and 220μm, respectively) is incorporated into engineering cementitious composite (ECC) material to replace silica sand. Furthermore, three different replacement percentages (0, 15%, 25% by volume) for each crumb rubber size are conducted in this study. The influence of crumb rubber on the ECC is revealed via density, compressive strength, flexural performance, drying shrinkage, restrained shrinkage and environment footprint. The experimental results show that the incorporation of crumb rubber into ECC increases bending deformation capacity, decrease density and compressive strength. While the free drying shrinkage of ECC increases with the addition of crumb rubber, lesser crack number, crack width and cracking tendency were found in the restrained ring test when compared to ECC without crumb rubber. In terms of crumb rubber size, ECC with smaller crumb rubber appear to have lower density and higher bending defamation capacity and shrinkage than those with larger crumb rubber. In addition, incorporating crumb rubber into ECC reduces CO 2 emission, thus improve the greenness of ECC to a certain degree.

“…Recycled tire rubber is used to develop deliberately low elastic modulus and highly ductile ECC repair material so as to alleviate repair failure induced by restrained drying shrinkage [1].Tyre aggregate replaced with coarse aggregate with various percentages and compared with regular concrete. Fresh and hardened concrete strength were identified [2].Rubber waste additives reduced both static and dynamic modulus of elasticity [3].Higher content of waste tyre crumb rubber particle used in concrete increases workability of concrete and produce the light weight concrete [4].Compressive strength of concrete with 100% replacement of chipped rubber showed 90% reduction.…”

Concrete is one the most extensively used construction material all over the world. Many scientists and researchers are in quest for developing alternate construction material that are environment friendly and contribute towards sustainable development. Huge amount of rubber tyres waste is being generating day by day which creates the disposal problem and has many environmental issues. As this scrap rubber waste is an elastic material having less specific gravity, energy absorbent material can be used as a replacement material for obtaining light weight concrete. In present study the modified concrete is prepared by replacing coarse aggregates in concrete with rubber aggregates by varying the replacement proportion from 0% to 20% with increment of 5%. The elastic properties are determined from concrete cubes. 3 cubes for each percentage of replacement are casted and tested after 28 th days of curing. Method of initial functions is used for the analysis of beams. The Method of initial functions (MIF) is an analytical method of elasticity theory from which stresses and displacement can be determined. This attempt of replacing the coarse aggregates with rubber aggregates will save the natural aggregates, reduces weight of structure and also helps achieve sustainability.

“…In comparison with conventional building materials the composite containing polymers resin have improved properties [5,6]. The composite concretes are characterized by great resistance to the chemical agents, good adhesion with the aggregates, fast hardening, etc [6,7,8]. The polymer concrete are recommended for applications in: repair works, precast elements, hydraulic structures, as a replacement for cast metals, in obtained of reservoirs and coating materials for the chemical and food industry etc.…”

Capitalization of tires waste is a priority problem determinate by the large quantities of these waste and environmental impact generated. In this paper we recommended capitalization with obtaining of new material with improved proprieties. The durability of a new polymer concrete with tires waste powder is presented in this paper. Durability characteristics such as: water adsorption, the chemical resistance, frost thaw cycles resistance, and thermal shock strength were performed. Influence of resin content and filler content were analysed. Thermo-physical tests have shown a very good behaviour of epoxy concrete with tires powder subjected to different types of aggressive agents, compared with that of witness polymer concrete, without addition. Results show that polymer concrete with tire powder display a very good behaviour to: frost-thaw cycles, thermal shock and chemical attack. The use of tires wastes in polymer concrete may help to improve the environment by elimination of a pollutant and to obtain a new composite material for construction industry. This new composite which uses powder of waste tires is a lightweight concrete, with good durability properties, which can successfully replace the cement concrete in specific applications such as: prefabricated unit for sound protection, thermal insulation, floors for chemical industry, pavements, etc.
