Properties of Pervious Concrete Containing Scrap Tyre Tubes

Properties of concrete containing scrap-tire rubber--an overview.

Solid waste management is one of the major environmental concerns in the United States. Over 5 billion tons of non-hazardous solid waste materials are generated in USA each year. Of these, more than 270 million scrap-tires (approximately 3.6 million tons) are generated each year. In addition to this, about 300 million scrap-tires have been stockpiled. Several studies have been carried out to re...

Center for By-Products Utilization PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE CONTAINING SCRAP TIRE RUBBER – AN OVERVIEW

Solid waste management is one of the major environmental concern in the United States. Over 5 billion tons of non-hazardous solid waste materials are generated in US each year. Out of which more than 273 million scrap tires (approximately 3.6 million tons) are generated each year. In addition to this, about 3 billion tires are stockpiled. Several studies have been carried out to reuse scrap tir...

Analysis of the Transport Properties of Tyre Fiber Modified Concrete

Problem statement: Nowadays, the use of waste tyre in concrete has become technically feasible and the tyre mixed concrete is light weight and called as rubberized concrete. Still the research is going on to explore basic engineering properties such as transport properties viz, acid absorption test, water absorption tests, impact resistance, modulus of elasticity, dynamic modulus and so on. In ...

Virtual Pervious Concrete: Microstructure, Percolation, and Permeability

As the usage of pervious concrete continues to increase dramatically, a better understanding of the linkages between microstructure, transport properties, and durability will assist suppliers in mixture proportioning and design. This paper presents various virtual pervious concrete microstructural models and compares their percolation characteristics and computed transport properties to those o...
