Abstract
The presence of end-of-life tires in nature can cause several environmental problems. Their reuse as a sustainable additive for the production of concrete represents a path for both the protection of the environment and may be improvement of some characteristics of concrete for special uses. The goal of this study is to contribute to the development of the research on rubberized concrete. Thus, the use of rubber crumbs as a partial replacement of fine and coarse natural aggregates was investigated while attempting to minimize significant losses in compressive strength and improve certain specific concrete properties, such as improved impact resistance, increased energy absorption and enhanced sound insulation. This will make rubberized concrete applicable on a wide scale, for instance, in the construction of noise barriers alongside highways, the development of resilient pavements in urban areas and the reinforcement of structures experiencing dynamic loading. Two families with the same design strength were defined based on the loading speed (Family 1, v1 =0.25MPa/s and Family 2, v2=0.6MPa/s). Each family has 4 groups depending on the percentage of rubber crumbs introduced by volume. Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 had 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% of rubber crumbs, respectively. The results showed that as the percentage of rubber increased, a decrease was noticed in compressive strength and reached 30 to 38% for 20 and 30% rubber crumbs replacement of fine and coarse natural aggregates. Moreover, the Modulus of elasticity decreased slightly while the compressive failure strain was noticed to increase by 30% for rubber crumbs replacement. The results of compressive strength and failure strain were practically the same for the two distinct loading speeds, while changing the loading speed slightly influenced the modulus of elasticity.
