“…However, when fine aggregate was replaced in full with waste rubber, the authors observed lower reduction in compressive strength (65%) and the same reduction in splitting tensile strength (50%). Studies conducted by the authors Topçu and Avcular [18], Lee et al [19], and Parant et al [20] showed greater reduction in compressive strength when coarse aggregate was replaced with CR compared to the replacement of fine aggregate.…”

This study investigates the ameliorative effects on some properties of cement-based materials which can be obtained by incorporating rubber particles as part of the fine aggregates. The aim is to find out optimal cement composite/mortar mixtures, containing recycled-tyre rubber particles, suitable for specific engineering applications. Different percentages of rubber particles, from 0% to 75%, were used and, for each percentage, the suitable amount of sand was investigated in order to achieve the best fresh/hardened performances. In particular the following characteristics were examined: density, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, shrinkage, weight loss, flexural behaviour, thermal conductivity, rapid freezing and thawing durability, and chloride permeability. The experimental results were compared with the ones of cement composite specimens without rubber aggregates. Test results show that the proposed rubberized mortar mixes are particularly suitable for some industrial and architectural applications, such as under-rail bearings, road constructions, paving slabs, false facades, and stone backing.

“…When the aggregate was replaced by the crumb rubber, the compressive strength and the splitting tensile strength of the concrete were reduced significantly [1][2][3][4][5][6]10]. However, this rubberized concrete had the ability to absorb a large amount of energy under compressive and tensile loads [7][8][9] and got an increase of chloride ion penetration resistance [10].…”

“…Partially replacing the coarse aggregate of the concrete with some quantity of waste tyre cubes could give qualities such as low unit weight, high resistance to abrasion, absorption to shocks and vibrations, high ductility and brittleness to the concrete. Moreover the inclusion of rubber into concrete results in higher resilience, durability and elasticity (Lee et al, 1993;Eldin and Senouci, 1993a;Toutanji, 1996;Raghavan et al, 1998;Li et al, 1998;Bignozzi et al, 2000;Raghavan, 2000;Senthilkumaran et al, 2008). The literature reveals that the tests conducted by Eldin and Senouci (1993b) on concrete with tire chips and crumb rubber of sizes 19, 25 and 38mm considerably reduces the compressive strength and split tensile strengths but can withstand to absorb large amount of plastic energy.…”

Problem statement: Nowadays, the use of waste tyre in concrete has become technically feasible and the tyre mixed concrete is light weight and called as rubberized concrete. Still the research is going on to explore basic engineering properties such as transport properties viz, acid absorption test, water absorption tests, impact resistance, modulus of elasticity, dynamic modulus and so on. In this study, the studies are limited to acid absorption test, water absorption test and energy absorbed by impact. Approach: Experimental investigations were conducted on tyre fiber specimens with different variables such as length, diameter of holes and percentage of coarse aggregate replacement by tyre fibers. Impact resistance test was done by ACI standard and acid and water absorptions tests were conducted by Indian standard. Results: In this study, experimental results based on the water absorption, acid resistance and impact resistance of the rubberized concrete were analyzed. These experiments were conducted on rubberized concrete with tyre fibers mixed in different sizes and proportions by weight with the coarse aggregate. The specimens were immersed in water and in diluted HCL (5% concentration) acid for 28 days and tested. Conclusion: The results obtained from the tests are use to determine the optimum size of the tyre fiber specimen that could be used in the rubberized concrete mixture to give the optimum performance. The rubberized concrete with tyre fiber specimen L50-D5 10% has shown good transport characteristics and impact resistance.
