Physical, mechanical and thermal properties of Crushed Sand Concrete containing Rubber Waste

Blog Article

Over the past twenty years, the rubber wastes are an important part of municipal solid waste.This work focuses on the recycling of rubber waste, specifically rubber waste of used shoes discharged into the nature and added in the mass Facial Wipes of crushed sand concrete with percentage (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%).The physical (workability, fresh density), mechanical (compressive and flexural strength) and thermal (thermal conductivity) of different crushed sand concrete made are analyzed and compared to the respective controls.The use of rubber waste Hand Axes in crushed sand concrete contributes to reduce the bulk density and performance of sand concrete.

Nevertheless, the use of rubber aggregate leads to a significant reduction in thermal conductivity, which improves the thermal insulation of crushed sand concrete.
