Abstract

The rapid increase in global vehicles has led to a large number of expired waste tires, and the disposal of waste tires has become an environmental and economic issue. Rubber particles produced from recycled tires can be used as a substitute for natural aggregates in self compacting concrete (SCC). The purpose of this study is to summarize the impact of rubber particles as a partial substitute for aggregate on SCC, including workability and mechanical properties. The results show that replacing natural aggregate with rubber particles has a negative influence on the fresh and mechanical properties of SCC, whereas greatly enhance the durability of traditional SCC. The properties of rubber particles, including particle sizes, replacement ratios and surface treatment methods, show great impacts on the properties of self-compacting rubberised concrete (SCRC).
