“…As well-known from the literature reviews, replacing fine aggregate with crumb rubber causes the reduction in compressive strength of the concrete, and an increase in rubber content also leads to decrease in compressive strength (Teychenne et al 1997;Skripkiunas et al 2009;Lin et al 2010;Torgal et al 2011;Najim and Hall 2012;Su et al 2015). Even though the 425 or 75 microcrumb rubber was used in this study, the reduction of compressive strength still appeared.…”

“…In addition, it can be clearly seen that the compressive strength of concrete contained the bigger size of rubber particles such as SFRC-425-5 and SFRC-425-10 has lower compressive strength than that of smaller size (SFRC-75-5 and SFRC-75-10) for both 7 and 28 days. This is because finer rubber particles provide a better void filling ability which causes higher compressive strength (Su et al 2015). The SFRC-75-5 had the highest compressive strength compared to the other CRCs, and importantly it was higher than the requirement for design concrete sleeper which is 55 MPa (BS EN 13230-1 2009).…”

Railway track components often suffer from high aggressive loading and vibrating conditions of railway environment. In this study, the idea of improving structural material which can effectively absorb vibration energy is introduced to use for making railway sleeper. The environment-friendly concrete using crumb waste rubber tyres (425 and 75 Micron) as Micro-filler is presented. Six different types of concrete were designed and produced in accordance to British standard. Two experiments were conducted, which comprised of compressive strength and vibration testing, when the concrete has age of 7 and 28 days. The results illustrated that micro-crumb rubber concrete (CRC) can achieve the strength over 55 MPa (Complying with the requirement to design concrete sleeper) while maintaining the damping property at the excellent level. It was found that damping ratio of CRC is higher than plain concrete about 42%. These fundamental insights will encourage an innovative material application guideline for rail track engineers and managers in maintenance and construction of railway tracks and their components.

“…A substantial amount of research studies have been carried out in bitumen modification to improve the rheological and mechanical performance, i.e. higher softening point, higher elastic recovery, reduced fatigue cracking and rutting resistance [30][31][32] . Many bitumen researchers have worked on using different chemical additives to improve the phase separation of bitumen modified with crumb rubber 33,34 .…”

-With increased transportation, waste tire rubber accumulation becomes a major environmental concern. The use of crumb rubber, recycled tire rubber is considered as an additive in bitumen modification for road pavement and economic disposal or tire rubber. Although, crumb rubber modified bitumen shows excellent performance properties due to its elastic nature but meanwhile storage stability of crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) is still an issue due to poor dispersion of crumb rubber particle in bitumen, which affects the performance of road pavement. Keeping these issues in mind, we have doped various long chain amines in CRMB to improve its storage stability and physical and rheological properties CRMB.

“…In-building applications of GTRbased composite are focused on sound insulation and absorption and it is realized in the composite board for room partition, particle boards, or oor parquets. Meanwhile, crumb rubber has been used for concrete mixture/reinforcement [17] and asphalt/cement pavements [18].…”

Abstract. This study reports a reclamation method of Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) and electronic wastes into a tunable sti ness composite, namely magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). The composite matrix was the GTR that had been separated from its metals and yarns. Meanwhile, the llers were fabricated from magnetic cores of the Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) monitor waste through high energy ball milling in wet condition. Some physicochemical characterizations of the powders were initially conducted to collect the physical and chemical properties. Based on the examination, the ground powders were identi ed as pure magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) having low remnant and high magnetization. The MREs samples were prepared by high-temperature high-pressure sintering. The mixed of crumb rubber and magnetite powder was vulcanized under simultaneous pressure and temperature in the absence of magnetic elds, which resulted in an isotropic MREs type. The abilities of specimens were examined in relation to the external magnetic eld through static and dynamic compression tests. The experimental investigation showed that the static and dynamic stresses of the sti ness increased by the increment of magnetic elds up to a particular point of ux density. The tunability of the sti ness indicated that the elastomers could provide wide ranges of storage and loss modulus.
