With many years of construction and application of common concrete, researchers have always been searching for a better composition. One of the notable ideas for achieving such a composition is using recycled materials. One of the materials which is suitable for environment and constant development is damaged tires .For studying mechanical properties of concrete containing tire particles, a ser...

To further reveal the road performance and noise reduction of open-graded friction course (OGFC), crumb rubber prepared by adding waste tires were considered, requirements material put forward. avoid influence particle swelling on aggregate, special gradation mix proportion OGFC mixture designed, size 4.75 mm was proposed as control size. The test results show that aggregate forms a good embedd...

Combining eco-sustainability and technological efficiency is one of the “hot” topics in current construction architectural sectors. In this work, recycled tire rubber aggregates acoustically effective fractal cavities were combined design, modeling, experimental characterization lightweight concrete hollow bricks. After analyzing structural acoustic behavior brick models by finite element analy...

This paper examines the effectiveness of Taiwanese environmental health policies, whose aim is to improve environmental quality by reducing tire waste via the Tire Resource Recovery Program. The results confirm that implemented environmental health policies improve the overall health of the population (i.e. a decrease in death caused by bronchitis and other respiratory diseases). Current policy...

Title of Document: INVESTIGATING CRUMB RUBBER AMENDMENTS FOR EXTENSIVE GREEN ROOF SUBSTRATES Sonia Lorelly Solano Torres, MS, 2010 Directed By: John D. Lea-Cox, PhD. Chair, Plant Sciences and Landscape Architecture Department Extensive green roof systems can mitigate urban stormwater by capturing rainfall and reducing runoff volume. Green roof substrates, often made from expanded shales, slates...

Waste latex sludge from centrifuged residue, which is a null by-product of concentrated latex manufacturing, was digested to retrieve the rubber by using sulfuric acid. It was found that the acid concentration and digestion time have an effect on the amount and purity of the retrieved rubber. Sulfuric acid at concentrations of more than 10% by weight with a digestion time of 48 hours completely...

A review of production of activated carbon from waste tire char is presented. This review compiles the work done by various researchers on the characterisation of activated carbon from tire char and its applications in liquid-phase adsorption. Effect of various process parameters particularly activation temperature, burn-off, surface area on the activation stage are reviewed. Influence of activ...

The addition of inorganic expanded aggregates, such as perlite or vermiculite is well known in gypsum plasters. However, the reuse organic wastes coatings like plasters and renders has been poorly studied. This paper shows effect tire rubber on mechanical properties fire performance waste was added to mixture mass percentages 14.50% (C1) 46.60% (C2). Flexural compressive strength made with visi...
