Overview

Investigates the impact of crumb rubber on concrete's thermo-mechanical properties, implying a sustainable construction solution.

Key Points

  • The research aims to evaluate how varying rubber content affects the thermo-mechanical properties of concrete.
  • Prepared 128 concrete specimens using a fixed mix ratio and water-to-cement ratio.
  • Tested for slump, density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and thermal characteristics.
  • Analyzed the influence of crumb rubber content (0% to 50%) on concrete properties.
  • Compressive strength reduced from 42.61 MPa to 15.69 MPa with increased rubber content.
  • Split tensile strength decreased from 1.81 MPa to 1.09 MPa as rubber increased.
  • Flexural strength dropped from 4.53 MPa to 2.70 MPa with higher rubber content.
  • Thermal conductivity improved from 0.947 W/m·K to 0.614 W/m·K, enhancing insulation.
