Mortar incorporating tire rubber waste: mechanical and acoustic insulation properties

Key Points

• To explore the potential of incorporating discarded tire rubber waste in plaster mortars to enhance their properties.
• Analyzed mechanical properties of mortar with tire rubber incorporation
• Evaluated acoustic insulation capabilities of modified mortars
• Compared results with standard plaster mortars
• Tire rubber incorporation improved sound absorption in mortars
• Mechanical properties remained acceptable compared to conventional mortars
• Indicated potential for recycling tire rubber in construction applications
