Properties of crumb rubber hollow concrete block
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2012Abstract Several researches have been conducted to determine the fresh and hardened properties of crumb rubber concrete (CRC), concrete containing crumb rubber as partial replacement to fine aggregate. The benefits of outlined from these works include low density, good thermal resistivity, better sound absorption, increase slump values and toughness,

Review of Crumb Rubber Concrete
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014Rubber concrete acted as one kinds of building materials came from the traditional modification concrete, and it had the excellent thermal insulation properties, such as light, good toughness, good thermal insulation, so it had been initially used in civil engineering, such as railways, highways and so it’s like.

Properties of Crumb Rubber Concrete
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2005Crumb rubber is a material produced by shredding and commutating used tires. There is no doubt that the increasing piles of used tires create environmental concerns. The long-term goal of this research is to find means to dispose of the crumb rubber by placement of the rubber in portland cement concrete and still provide a final product with good ...

Promoting the use of crumb rubber concrete in developing countries
Waste Management, 2008The use of accumulated waste materials in third world countries is still in its early phases. It will take courage for contractors and others in the construction industry to recycle selected types of waste materials in the concrete mixes. This paper addresses the recycling of rubber tires accumulated every year in Jordan to be used in concrete mixes ...

Optimising the Performance Of Crumb Rubber Modified Concrete
The Journal of Solid Waste Technology and Management, 2021The issue of management of end of life tyre (EOLT) rubber or crumb rubber presents major social, environmental and economic challenges especially for Small Island Developing States (SIDS) such as Trinidad and Tobago. A successful measure in foreign jurisdictions is to utilize this waste material for civil construction as a substitute for natural ...

Effect of rubber crumb on the microstructural properties of concrete
African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development, 2016This study evaluates the effect of rubber crumb on the microstructural properties of concrete which was used to partially replace fine aggregate by 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16% proportion and designated as M0, M4, M8, M12, and M16 respectively. The wet and hardened properties of concrete were investigated by conducting a slump test and a compressive strength ...

Workability and mechanical properties of crumb-rubber concrete
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2013The addition of crumb-rubber aggregate has a significant effect on concrete mix apparent porosity which affects both the plastic state workability and hardened state mechanical properties. New experimental data are presented and analysed to better understand this behaviour. Crumb-rubber-modified concrete exhibits reduced slump while maintaining a high
