This paper presents an experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of rubberised concrete confined with basalt-fibre textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets. The main aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the TRM confinement scheme on c...
The environmental impact of non-biodegradable rubber waste can be severe if they are buried in moist landfill soils or remain unused forever. This study deals with a sustainable approach for reusing discarded tires in construction materials. Replacin...
The increase in world population has led to a significant increase in the numbers of cars and used tyres. These tyres must be disposed of on an ongoing basis as a result of their consumption or deterioration. This can result in negative effects on th...
Rubberised concrete has emerged as a material of interest to the research community with the mission of creating sustainable structural members and decreasing the burden of waste tyre rubber. The potential benefits of replacing natural aggregates wit...
Not only can waste rubber enhance the properties of concrete (e.g., its dynamic damping and abrasion resistance capacity), its rational utilisation can also dramatically reduce environmental pollution and carbon footprint globally. This study is the...
Disposing of waste tyres in landfills poses significant environmental hazards, making recycling a crucial alternative. Rubberised concrete has been found to exhibit lower density and better thermal insulation performance than conventional concrete. I...
Rubberised concrete, utilised as infill material within single- or double-skin confinements, has emerged as a sustainable solution, offering improved ductility in structures. Past studies have indicated promising results regarding the axial response...
The materials based on concrete with an addition of rubber are well-known. The interaction between concrete components and rubber particles is in the majority cases insufficient. For this reason, different substances are introduced into concrete-rubb...
This research extensively investigates how to enhance the mechanical performance of Rubcrete, aiming to move this type of concrete from the laboratory research level to a more practical use by the concrete industry. The effects of many different mixi...
Using waste rubber tires for concrete production will reduce the demand for natural aggregate and help to reduce environmental pollution. The main challenge of using waste rubber tires in concrete is the deterioration of mechanical properties, due to...
There is no doubt that the use of waste rubber in concrete applications is a genius alternative because Styrene is the main component of rubber, which has a strong toxicity and is harmful to humans. Therefore, it will significantly reduce impacts on...
An innovative beam concept made from hollow FRP tube with external flanges and filled with crumbed rubber concrete was investigated with respect to bending and shear. The performance of the rubberised-concrete-filled specimens was then compared with...
Waste rubber takes many years to decompose, and thus the increasing number of tires in the world can be characterised as an important environmental issue, which generated the idea of implementing crumb rubber in structural self-compacting concrete (S...
Within the scientific research project ‘RubSuPave’, a large number of laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the addition of waste rubber (WR) to mixtures of a cement-bound base course (CBC) for pavement construction. For mixtur...
