Freezing-thawing and impact resistance of concretes containing waste crumb rubbers

Tahir GÖNEN

Millions of tires are discarded every year. Disposal or recycling-reusing of waste tire rubber has become a big environmental problem in the world. In this study, it was aimed to determine the freezing-thawing, impact resistance, compressive strength and capillary water absorption rate, when the granulated waste rubber parts are used in the non-load-bearing concrete. Granulated crumb rubbers obtained from waste tires were used at two different grain diameters of 1 and 2 mm as the maximum value. A total of 9 different series were prepared, one of them being the control group and the others bein ...Более
