Relationship between UPV and Strength of Rubber-Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study is performed for investigation of the correlation between UPV value and strength of rubber-concrete. Compressive and splitting tensile strengths of concrete containing waste tire-rubber particles by four different volume contents were investigated using ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test and direct destructive tests. Test results showed that ultrasonic pulse velocity test can be successfully estimated to the strength of rubber-concrete as used in normal concrete.
