  • shrinkage performance of crumb rubber concrete crc prepared by water Soaking Treatment method for rigid pavements
    Cement & Concrete Composites, 2015
    Co-Authors: Iman Mohammadi, Hadi Khabbaz
    Abstract:

    Abstract This investigation deals with the shrinkage properties of rubberised concrete pavement. Arrays of concrete samples were prepared with different water–cement ratios and rubber content. The experimental results revealed that the introduction of rubber into concrete mixes results in the control of shrinkage cracks if the optimised content of rubber is selected. Accordingly, the optimised rubber content was determined based on the mix characteristics, mechanical properties and the results of plastic and drying shrinkage tests. The mechanical strength, toughness, bleeding, plastic shrinkage and drying shrinkage tests were conducted in this experimental program. Analysing the results revealed that the most promising performance results were achieved for samples prepared with the rubber contents of 20% and 25% of fine aggregates, and water–cement ratios of 0.45 and 0.40, respectively.

  • in depth assessment of crumb rubber concrete crc prepared by water Soaking Treatment method for rigid pavements
    Construction and Building Materials, 2014
    Co-Authors: Iman Mohammadi, Hadi Khabbaz, K Vessalas
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper investigates effects of applying an innovative method of rubber Treatment, named water-Soaking, on fresh and hardened properties of rubberised concrete. Unlike the current methods of introducing rubber into concrete mixtures, which are conducted in a dry process, this research trialled introducing of rubber particles into the mixture in a wet process. Conducting the required sets of fresh and hardened concrete tests, mixtures with a variety of rubber content and water–cement ratios were evaluated. In order to measure the effectiveness of the introduced method, properties of concrete prepared by water Soaking-method were compared with concrete containing untreated rubber. It was observed that applying the proposed method resulted in improvement of fresh and hardened properties. It resulted in more uniform distribution of rubber particles in concrete matrix, less entrapped air in concrete mixture and 22% higher compressive strength for rubberised concrete.
