Nowadays, one of the most essential environmental issues around the world is to deal with the scrap tire problem. Tires that are used, rejected or unwanted are classified as scrap tires and need to be managed responsibly. In this paper, the scrap tires were shredded into pieces and used to mix with normal weight concrete. Extensive laboratory tests were carried out and the focus of this paper was to characterize the mechanical and permeability properties of concrete containing scrap tires. The main parameters studied were chipped tire content and size. The results showed that the scrap-tire chips without adding special bonding agents apparently showed an even distribution in the mortar and concrete matrix. The elastic modulus, compressive and tensile strengths of scrap tire concrete in general were found lower than that of the control concrete and the differences became significant when the content and size of chipped tires in the mix were increased. Besides, the coefficients of water permeability of concrete were found to increase with increase of chipped tires in the mix.

Findings of a study involving the use of scrap tire chips in an asphaltic membrane are reported. The research project was designed with two objectives in mind: investigate the effectiveness of an asphaltic membrane on top of a subgrade for maintaining moisture equilibrium in subgrade and study the potential use of scrap tire chips in asphaltic membranes. The effectiveness of the membrane as a moisture barrier needs to be evaluated over a long period of time. However, the method proved to be a cost-effective way of recycling waste tires in pavements. It is hoped that this study will contribute to various efforts in the area of cost-effective and sound use of waste materials in construction.

RESUMENSe estudió la factibilidad del uso de partículas de neumático reciclado en concreto y morteros. Para evaluar las propiedades mecánicas del concreto endurecido se realizaron pruebas de densidad, resistencia a la compresión y determinación del módulo de elasticidad. Además se determinó la trabajabilidad del concreto en estado fresco mediante la prueba de revenimiento Las muestras se fabricaron con la sustitución de un 5%, 7.5% y 10 % del volumen de la arena por partículas de neumático reciclado. Se determinó mediante la técnica de potencial de corrosión el estado que guardaba en acero revisando de esta manera la probabilidad de corrosión. Para el estudio de la velocidad de corrosión se utilizó la técnica electroquímica de resistencia a la polarización lineal (RPL) en morteros fabricados bajo las mismas condiciones y proporciones que en los concretos. Los resultados mostraron que una mezcla con 7.5% de partículas de neumático reciclado puede ser utilizada en estructuras de resistencia moderada, ligera y ubicadas en ambientes con cloruros.Palabras clave: Concreto; mortero; neumático reciclado; velocidad de corrosión; Propiedades mecánicas.ABSTRACTThe feasibility of using scrap tire particles in the elaboration of concrete and mortar was investigated. To assess the mechanical properties of hardened concrete, tests evaluating of its density, modulus elasticity and compression strength were undertaken. To determine the workability of freshly made concrete, a slump test was also performed. Tests in which 5, 7.5 and 10% of sand were substituted by recycled tire particles were made. The likelihood of corrosion on the steel is determined, using the technique of corrosion potential. To test the velocity of corrosion was used the linear polarization resistance method (LPR method) was utilized under the same conditions as well as fabrication of concrete. It was observed that using 7.5% of recycled tire particles offers satisfactory results in structures of moderate strength and lighter weight located in environments with chlorides.Keywords: Concrete; mortar; recycled tire; corrosion rate; mechanical properties.

The Disposal of Scrap Tires has Resulted in Major Environmental Problems Worldwide. Therefore, Utilizing Scrap Tires as Crumb Rubber is being Used in Brick Production to Improve the Properties of the Bricks as well as to Provide Feasible Waste Management of Scrap Tires. this Study Presents the Literature Research on Utilizing Crumb Rubber in Bricks Manufacturing. the Review Summarized the Manufacturing Process of Producing Crumb Rubber and then Documented the Application of Crumb Rubber in Masonry. the Results Show that the Compressive Strength of Masonry Bricks Decreases with the Increased Percentage Substitution of Crumb Rubber as a Replacement of Fine Aggregate while the Water Absorption Increased. Moreover, the Addition of Crumb Rubber in Masonry Applications Reduce the Density which Produce Lightweight Masonry Products. Generally, the Findings Confirmed that the Masonry Bricks Incorporated Crumb Rubber Exhibit Good Physical and Mechanical Properties. the Usage of Crumb Rubber in Bricks Making Helps to Solve Problems Associated with Scrap Tire Management all over the World.

Some laboratory tests, such as Proctor compaction test, direct shear and cyclic direct shear tests, consolidation test, and unconfined compression test, were performed on scrap tire crumbs-clayey soil mixtures to study the mechanical properties of the mixtures. The results show that (1) the maximum dry unit weight and the corresponding optimum moisture content of the mixtures decrease rapidly with the increase of scrap tire crumbs content (CSTC), showing good potential for using the mixtures as lightweight fill material; (2) it is not possible to prepare the mixture when CSTC exceeds 30% due to the occurrence of cracks in the mixture after removing from a mould; and (3) the shear strength of mixtures approximately increases by 20% when CSTC is up to 30%, while the residual strength decreases by 15%, compared with that of pure clayey soil. During shearing, the dilation of the mixtures occurs, particularly under the condition of a high CSTC and a low vertical pressure. Besides, the compressive strength and consolidation settlement of the mixtures decrease with CSTC increasing. The results indicate that it is possible for scrap tire crumbs used to improve clayey soil, which is suitable to act as a fill material.
