Effect of rubber particle modification on properties of rubberized concrete

Journal of Wuhan University of Technology-Mater. Sci. Ed., 2014
To improve the combination of cement matrix and waste tire rubber particles in concrete, the rubber particles were treated with acrylic acid (ACA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) for grafting hydrophilic groups on their surfaces. The X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and surface contact angle were used to characterize the hydrophilicity and surface ...

The properties of rubberized concretes

Cement and Concrete Research, 1995
Abstract Utilization of industrial waste products in concrete has attracted attention both with the energy crisis in the 70s and the rise of environmental consciousness. Most of the concrete properties can be improved by incorporating different kinds of industrial wastes.

Experimental investigation on lightweight rubberized concrete beams strengthened with BFRP sheets subjected to impact loads [PDF]

Engineering Structures, 2020
This study experimentally investigates the impact behaviour of rubberized concrete beams strengthened with basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP). Twelve reinforced concrete beams, which consisted of different rubber contents (0%, 15%, and 30%), were ...

Review of Crumb Rubber Concrete

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Rubber 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, 2005
Crumb 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 ...

Observations on Rubberized Concrete Behavior

Cement, Concrete, and Aggregates, 1993
Abstract As a possible solution to the problem of scrap-tire disposal, an experimental study was conducted to examine the potential use of tire chips and crumb rubber as aggregate substitutes in portland-cement concrete mixes. In this study, strength, durability, and toughness as well as workability, unit weight, and volume change were ...

Rubberized Portland Cement Concrete

Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 1999
The use of recycled tire rubber in a portland cement concrete (PCC) mixture is investigated as a possible alternative for nonconventional PCC mixtures. This study is focused on the determination of the practicality of producing such mixes and evaluating their engineering properties. An experimental program was developed to use two types of tire rubber (

Introductory behavior of rubber concrete

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1999
This article introduces a new type of concrete, the so-called rubber concrete, and thereupon presents a way of modification of waste rubber to construction articles. The conventional cement concrete is made by mixing cement with sand and pebbles, but the rubber concrete proposed here virtually excludes cement completely.

Durability of Rubberized Mortar and Concrete

Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2007
This study aims at determining the durability of mortar and concrete, including aggregate of discarded car tires under environmental conditions. These conditions are freeze-thaw, seawater, and high temperature. Concrete specimens produced with a cement dosage of 300, a 0.5 water-cement ratio, and 0, 10, 20, and 30% rubber aggregate in volume, where the
