Mechanical Properties of Crumb Rubber Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the results of a study on mechanical properties of crumb rubber concrete (CRC). The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural toughness of CRC were investigated. The effect of crumb rubber proportion on the mechanical properties was experimentally analyzed. The test results indicate that the addition of crumb rubber can significantly improve the ductility and flexural toughness of CRC.
