“…Furthermore, reducing the emission of Co 2 produced from cement manufacturing by reducing the amount of cement used in constructions (Lee et al 2016). Re-searchers have considered using recycled scrap tires as crumb rubber or rubber particles in concrete mixes to enhance certain concrete properties, such as ductility (Topçu, Avcular 1997;Zheng et al 2008), toughness or energy absorption (Reda Taha et al 2008;Khaloo et al 2008;Atahan, Yücel 2012;Noaman et al 2016), impact resistance (Al-Tayeb et al 2013), fatigue (Liu et al 2013), and many others (Sukontasukkul 2009). The use of steel fiber and crumb rubber has also been pointed out in many studies due to the desired properties of both materials when incorporated into concrete mixes (Turatsinze et al 2006;Liu et al 2012;Nguyen et al 2010).…”

Researchers investigated the utilization of crumb rubber aggregate recycled from waste tire in concrete to solve the problem of discarded tire and to produce a green sustainable concrete. However, a reduction in the mechanical properties due to crumb rubber inclusion occurs. Steel fiber rubberized concrete used in this study to provide a balance between the strength loss and sustainable issue. An investigation on the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete combined with hooked – end steel fiber is presented. Rubberized concrete with different replacement ratios of crumb rubber was incorporated in plain and steel fiber concrete mixes via partial replacement of fine aggregate. Four replacement ratios (17.5%, 20%, 22.5%, and 25%) were used to investigate the effect of the partial replacement of fine aggregate by crumb rubber on the mechanical properties of plain and steel fiber concrete. In both mixes, reduction in mechanical properties was observed to be proportionate with the increment of crumb rubber. Finally, a successful combination of steel fiber and crumb rubber was obtained due to improvement of strain capacity under flexural loading.

“…Sample S-4 and S-5 achieve higher compressive strength among all type of concrete samples and again it starts decreasing by increasing of rubber particles replacement. Previous studies showed compressive strength of concrete generally decrease when the rubber particles added to the concrete (Al-Tayeb et al, 2013;Dong et al, 2013). But in this study compressive strength doesn't decrease because the quantity of binding materials in the concrete samples was increasing when replacement of expanded glass aggregate was increased.…”

“…In addition, Thomas et al found in his investigation that rubberized concrete has significant resistance towards aggressive environments like carbonation, acid attack, chloride ion penetration and freeze-thaw resistance (Thomas, Gupta, & Panicker, 2016). Dong et al and Al-Tayed et al showed in their study that increasing volume of crumb rubbers in concrete decreases the compressive strength of concrete (Al-Tayeb, Abu Bakar, Akil, & Ismail, 2013;Dong, Huang, & Shu, 2013). Rubberized concrete is highly environmentally friendly and sustainable and can be used in various prospects.…”

Lightweight concrete is a very useful building material used in the construction sector for providing better insulation and lower energy consumption. Properties of lightweight aggregate, water-cement ratio, and other additives strongly affect the concrete strength, thermal properties, and workability. This paper investigates the behavior of lightweight concrete using rubber particles as fine aggregate, replaced by the expanded glass lightweight aggregate in the concrete mixture. In the concrete mixture expanded glass aggregate is replaced by rubber particles by 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% by mass. Concrete workability, density, compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption tests were examined. Workability and density were increasing by increasing rubber particles replacement percentages in the concrete mixture. On the other hand, compressive strength and flexural strength were decreasing by higher percentages of rubber particles replacement. Strength properties of rubberized concrete can be balanced by the proper utilization of binding materials in the concrete. Rubberized concrete can be used in the construction sector efficiently as partial replacement of lightweight aggregate in the concrete mixture.

“…The results of these studies are inconsistent with no consensus on the effects of using CRC on the structural performance of structural elements [18][19][20][21][22]. Son et al [18] investigated the efficiency of using CRC to improve the deformability and energy absorption capacity of RC columns under pure axial loading.…”

“…This investigation showed that the crumb rubber did not significantly affect the damping of the bridge and the crumb rubber sometimes reduced the viscous damping. Al-Tayeb et al [22] have tested three types of concrete namely, conventional concrete, CRC, and hybrid concrete (CRC top and conventional concrete bottom) under impact and static three-point bending loadings. They replaced the concrete sand volume by 5, 10, and 20% crumb rubber with 1.0 mm particle size.…”
