Collision behaviours of rubberized concrete
Cement and Concrete Research, 1997 Rubberized concrete is recommended for highway barriers. It was observed that rubberized concrete's acquired competency to absorb energy resulted in a decrease in damages and injuries during the collision of vehicles with barriers. In this study, normal concrete was combined with two different sizes of rubber aggregate in order to examine the ...

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Effect of Rubber Heat Treatment on Rubberized-Concrete Mechanical Performance
Journal of Composites Science, 2022 To eliminate the unfavorable effect of the accumulation of end-of-life car tires on the environment, many studies have been conducted to recycle those tires in concrete as a partial or full replacement of its natural aggregates. However, the produced rubberized concrete suffers from low compressive strength due to low adhesion at the rubber/cement ...
