Cracking Tendency

The utilization of crumb rubber particles extracted from waste tires in the production of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a decent and sustainable solution to mitigate the impacts of such waste on environment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cracking tendency of SCC with different content of crumb rubber extracted from waste tires. Five SCC mixtures were prepared. The reference mix was made with natural sand while the other four mixes were made with crumb rubber in which the natural sand was volumetrically replaced by crumb rubber at ratios of 10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40 %, respectively. The results show that the addition of crumb rubber delays the cracking of concrete. The cracking time increases with the increase of the rubber content. The results also reveal that the addition of rubber particles not only increases the cracking time but also reduces the initial and final crack width.

The paper aims to investigate the influence of waste tire rubber and silica fume on the fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) and to design multivariate regression models for the prediction of the mechanical properties of self-compacting rubberized concrete (SCRC). For this purpose, 21 concrete mixtures were designed. Crumb rubber derived from end-of-life tires (grain size 0.5–3.5 mm) was replaced fine aggregate by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% of total aggregate volume. Silica fume was replaced cement by 0%, 5%, and 10% of the total cement mass. The optimal replacement level of both materials was investigated in relation to the values of the fresh properties and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete. Tests on fresh and hardened self-compacting concrete were performed according to the relevant European standards. Furthermore, models for predicting the values of the compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and flexural strength of SCRC were designed and verified with the experimental results of 12 other studies. According to the obtained results, mixtures with up to 15% of recycled rubber and 5% of silica fume, with 28 days compressive strength above 30 MPa, were found to be optimal mixtures for the potential future investigation of reinforced self-compacting rubberized concrete structural elements.

Durability Properties

Waste tire disposal continues to pose a threat to the environment due to its non-biodegradable nature. Therefore, some means of managing waste tires include grinding them to crumb rubber (CR) sizes and using them as a partial replacement to fine aggregate in concrete. However, the use of CR has a series of advantages, but its major disadvantage is strength reduction. This leads to the utilization of calcium carbide waste (CCW) to mitigate the negative effect of CR in self-compacting concrete (SCC). This study investigates the durability properties of SCC containing CR modified using fly ash and CCW. The durability properties considered are water absorption, acid attack, salt resistance, and elevated temperature of the mixes. The experiment was conducted for mixes with no-fly ash content and their replica mixes containing fly ash to replace 40% of the cement. In the mixes, CR was used to partially replace fine aggregate in proportions of 0%, 10%, and 20% by volume, and CCW was used as a partial replacement to cement at 0%, 5%, and 10% by volume. The results indicate that the mixes containing fly ash had higher resistance to acid (H2SO4) and salt (MgSO4), with up to 23% resistance observed when compared to the mix containing no fly ash. In addition, resistance to acid attack decreased with the increase in the replacement of fine aggregate with CR. The same principle applied to the salt attack scenario, although the rate was more rapid with the acid than the salt. The results obtained from heating indicate that the weight loss was reduced slightly with the increase in CCW, and was increased with the increase in CR and temperature. Similarly, the compressive strength was observed to slightly increase at room temperature (27 °C) and the greatest loss in compressive strength was observed between the temperature of 300 and 400 °C. However, highest water absorption, of 2.83%, was observed in the mix containing 20% CR, and 0% CCW, while the lowest water absorption, of 1.68%, was found in the mix with 0% CR, 40% fly ash, and 10% CCW. In conclusion, fly ash is recommended for concrete structures immersed in water, acid, or salt in sulphate- and magnesium-prone areas; conversely, fly ash and CR reduce the resistance of SCC to heat beyond 200 °C.

In this research, a sustainable approach is followed to develop efficient mixtures incorporating recycled fine aggregate (RFA) remained from structure demolition as well as limestone filler (LF) from production of hot mix asphalt (HMA). The LF is a byproduct of the drying process in HMA production plant which is not entirely consumed in the production of the HMA and must be hauled and disposed in landfills. The maximum particle size of the LF is approximately 40 µm. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mixtures were designed replacing 5% and 10% of the cement with LF. Incorporation of 50%, and 100% RFA with the fines in the mixtures were considered with and without addition of the LF. Due to the formwork and prefabrication restrictions, the paste volume and the high range water reducer content were tuned in such a way that the slump flow of the mixtures remained between 660 mm to 700 mm without segregation. Durability and mechanical performance of the mixtures were evaluated by resistance against freeze-thaw scaling exposed to deicing agents and compressive strength. It was observed that the SCC mixtures containing 10% LF outperformed those without the use of LF while 5% SCC mixtures did not exhibit tangible superiority. Incorporation of RFA as the fine fraction degraded the durability of all the mixtures. While replacing all the fine fraction with RFA significantly impaired durability and compressive strength, 50% RF mixtures could be designed containing 10% LF that remained in the allowable limits.
