“…Pre-compressed rubber can reduce air voids and therefore permeability and absorption by immersion pof RuC, increasing its resistance to sulphate attack and chloride ion penetration [60]. Attending to the literature, to improve durability of RuC with FCR, more attention must be paid to the ITZ improvement, through the use of air-detraining admixtures that reduce the amount of air trapped [33] or pozzolanic fillers (fly ash, metakaolin or Silica Fume) which reduce ITZ width [39], permeability of the matrix and fill voids showing a more homogeneous microstructure and less cracking in the boundary between hydratation products and aggregates [26,35,37,39,40,62]. It can be more efficiently improved when combined with a previous treatment of rubber, such as water cleaning (to eliminate dust from recycling and store process) and later a bath in acid dissolution to guarantee a better bond between rubber and cementitious matrix (obtaining a more rough and less hydrophobic rubber surface).…”
