Experimental Investigation of Longitudinal Shear in Composite Slabs Using Innovated Shear Connectors

Journal of Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Composite slabs are widely used in modern construction because of their structural efficiency, cost‐effectiveness, and reduced self‐weight. They provide strong interaction between steel and concrete, which improves load‐bearing capacity and allows for faster construction.

Review on the characteristic properties of crumb rubber concrete

Cleaner Materials
The global scientific research circle and government agencies face a number of serious environmental challenges, one of which is the recycling of “End of Life Tires” (ELT). An estimation of one billion tires is expected to end their useful life annually, of which only roughly 50% are recycled at the moment, with the remainder ending up in landfills ...

Compressive behavior of sustainable rubberized concrete‐filled steel tube columns having various recycled tire rubber aggregate contents and developing a predictive design model

Structural Concrete, Volume 25, Issue 6, Page 4639-4659, December 2024.
Abstract As a sustainable solution, employing recycled tire rubber aggregates in the production of concrete is of considerable interest. However, the applicability of rubberized concretes in construction is restricted due to their relatively low mechanical performance.

Crumb rubber in concrete: Static and dynamic evaluation

Construction and Building Materials, 2012
Abstract In this study, six different concrete mix designs containing various amounts of coarse and fine crumb rubber were tested for properties important to concrete safety barriers. Eighteen samples – three of each mix design – were tested under static compression to determine the compressive strength and elastic modulus values.
