Performance of Rubberized Concrete and the Effect of Temperature and Stainless Steel Fibers

Rubberized concrete is widely used in construction by utilizing the advantages of partially replacing fine or coarse aggregate with rubber to enhance several properties and provide an environmentally friendly solution. This paper experimentally explores influence crumb (CR) as alternate concrete. Concrete specimens were prepared different percentages (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%). Additionally, other parameters, such freezing–thawing cycles, temperature, stainless steel fibers (SSFs), investigated. The workability fresh compression hardened examined. Reductions mechanical rubberized obtained. compressive strength reductions ranged between 13% 50%, based on percentage CR mix. However, a lesser unit weight higher toughness obtained relative conventional average decreased 1.3%, 2.5%, 3.4%, 5.7% control mixture when 20% incorporated into mixtures, respectively. Regression models predict developed. In addition, life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) identify quantify possible benefits using mixes was carried out. Using mixtures for thin whitetopping offered slightly lower net present value compared ordinary
