Tyre rubber wastes based concrete: a review

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The volume of tyre rubber wastes is increasing at a fast rate. An estimated 1000 million tyres reach the end of their useful lives every year and 5000 millions more are expected to be discarded in a regular basis by the year 2030. Up to now a small part is recycled and millions of tyres are just stockpiled, landfilled or buried. This paper reviews research published on the performance of concrete containing tyre rubber wastes. It discusses the effect of waste treatments, the size of waste particles and the waste replacement volume on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete.
