The cementitiousness between rubber particles and cement-based material could be raised because of the surface modification of rubber,thus enhance the mechanical property of crumb rubber concrete and improve the interface effect of rubber particles.We had researched the change regulation about the ratio of bending-compressive strength of the crumb rubber concrete modified by latex,the concrete with various quantity of rubber,under the condition dosage of latex is 0.5% of cement quality.The result of experimental prove that,compressive strength, splitting tensile and flexural strength could be enhanced because of latex injecting,and the ratio of bending-compressive strength could be enhanced at the same time.

This article presents experimental study performed on a first-of-its-kind frame fabricated using crumb rubber concrete, that is, concrete with waste rubbers (crumb) as a partial replacement of fine aggregate (sand). A 20% volume of sand was replaced by rubber crumb. Free vibration and shake-table tests were performed on 1:3 reduced scale frame models, both conventional reinforced concrete frame and crumb rubber concrete frame. The dynamic properties (i.e. frequency/time period, elastic viscous damping, and floor acceleration amplification) and seismic response parameters (i.e. ductility and response modification factors) were obtained. In addition, lateral displacement demand was correlated with peak base acceleration to derive seismic response curves. The seismic performance of crumb rubber concrete frame was compared with the conventional reinforced concrete frame in order to assess the feasibility of rubberized concrete for building constructions in areas of active seismicity. The following were concluded on the basis of experimental study: the elastic damping reduced by 12%, the initial time period increased by 6%, specific weight of concrete reduced by 6%, maximum lateral load reduced by 20%, lateral maximum story drift capacity increased by 30%, displacement ductility ratio increased by 2%, response modification factor reduced by 24%, maximum peak base acceleration resistance corresponding the incipient collapse state increased by 40%.

The energy evolution behaviour and mesodamage mechanism of CRC (crumb rubber concrete) were investigated by laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. The mesoscopic physical and mechanical parameters of CRC (crumb rubber concrete) materials were analyzed and determined by the discrete element method and trial-and-error method, and the mechanism and evolution of microcracks propagation during CRC failure were studied based on the parallel-bond model. The relationship among dissipation energy, damage threshold, and rubber content during CRC damage was studied by adopting the method of microscopic energy tracking. The energy release ratio was proposed to analyze the degree of “brittleness” of CRC after reaching its peak strength. The essential mechanism of different failure characteristics of CRC and NC (normal concrete) was analyzed and discussed by referring to their correlation between the microenergy evolution rule and the constitutive curve. The results show that (1) the calibrated mesoscopic physical and mechanical parameters can better reflect the mechanical characteristics of CRC materials, (2) there is a strong correlation between the mesoscopic damage threshold of CRC with different rubber contents and the proportion of dissipation energy at the peak strength, and the damage threshold of the CRC with 25% rubber mass is the largest, (3) the relationship between elastic strain energy release ratio of CRC and rubber particle contents can be fitted by the negative exponential function, and (4) the essential reasons for the different destruction characteristics of CRC and NC is that the addition of rubber particles makes more external input energy to be converted into dissipative energy required for microcracks propagation and sliding friction between particles and released step by step.

A micro-cracking monitoring and fracture evaluation method for crumb rubber concrete based on the acoustic emission technique was developed. The precursory micro-cracking activity and fracture behavior of crumb rubber concrete with different rubber contents, 0%, 10%, and 15%, were analyzed. The various acoustic emission statistical parameters including cumulative event, frequency distribution, amplitude distribution, and b-value were used for the analysis. The general fracture process is similar for all normal and crumb rubber concretes and can be divided into three distinct stages of micro-crack activity, namely, early stage, main collapse stage, and post-fracture stage. The following conclusions were drawn from the analysis: (1) more micro-cracks initiated and grew at early stage in the normal concrete, while less micro-cracks in the crumb rubber concrete but with longer stage duration; (2) the duration and crack number are both increasing with the increase in the rubber contents in main collapse and post-fracture stages; (3) new crack types associated with the rubber particles were recorded due to the change of the peak frequencies; and (4) the amplitude of the cracks decrease with the increase in the rubber content due to the damping ratio and interface improvement by the mixed rubbers. The results obtained in this article demonstrate that the acoustic emission technique can provide valuable information for a better understanding of micro-cracking and fracture monitoring of crumb rubber concrete.

This paper investigates the feasibility of using acoustic emission (AE) signal analysis for the detection of the breakage as well as the chipping of a cutting tool during machining. Experiments were conducted on a lathe using conventional carbide insert tools under realistic cutting conditions. The tangential and feed forces were also measured for comparisons. The sensitivities of the AE signal and cutting forces to insert chipping and fracture are illustrated. The relationship between acoustic emission energy and the combined effect of fracture surface area and cutting load is discussed.
