Effect of Partial Replacements of Sand by Waste Rubber on the Low Impact Resistance of Concrete

Abstract:

Effects of partial replacements of sand by waste fine rubber on the long term performance of concrete under low impact three-point bending loading were investigated. Specimens were prepared for 5% and 10% replacements by volume of sand. For each case, three beams of 50 mm ×75 mm × 350mm were loaded to failure in a drop-weight impact machine by subjected it to 20 N weight from 400mm height. In general the experiment appeared that the impact strength increases with increase the percentage of sand replacement by waste fine crumb rubber.
