Investigation of concrete barriers with recycled rubber, steel slag and roof tile

Kurar, Ali

The purpose of aggregating rubber is to increase concrete’s flexibility, elasticity, and capacity to absorb energy. In some application of concrete, it is desired that concrete should have low unit weight, high toughness and impact resistance. Although concrete is the most commonly used construction material, it does not always fulfill these requirements. In order to improve elastic properties of concrete and recycle the waste materials, new applications have been realized recently. One of these applications is the utilization of discarded tires in order to use together with aggregate. ...Daha fazlası
