| Abstract |
Accumulations of worn-out automobile tires creat fire and health hazards. As a possible solution to the problem of scrap-tire disposal, an experimental study was conducted to examine the potential of using wasted tire chips as aggregate in rubber mortar. This paper examines strength and toughness properties of rubber mortar in which different amounts of rubber-tire particles of several sizes were used as aggregate. The rubber mortar mixtures exhibited lower compressive, bending, tensile than did normal mortar. However, these mixtures did not demonstrate brittle failure, but rather a ductile, plastic failure, and had the ability to absorb a large amount of plastic energy under compressive loads. |
