Abstract

One of the recycling approaches for waste materials like tires and glass is to use them in concrete. In this paper, the effect of the simultaneous use of waste rubber as partial substitution of fine aggregate and glass powder as partial substitution of cement, on workability and mechanical properties, in ambient temperature and after exposure to temperature of 600 °C, is investigated. In order to evaluate the effect of rubber particle size on workability and mechanical properties, two different rubber particle sizes of 0.15-1mm and 3-5mm were used. In total, 13 mixtures were prepared. Except for the reference mixture, the rest contained a combination of rubber particles replacing fine aggregate with the percentages of 5% and 10% by volume and glass powder replacing cement with percentages of 10%, 15% and 20%. First of all, the slump test was carried out. Moreover, compressive strength and tensile strength, before and after thermal exposure, were investigated. In order to have an understanding of waste material's behavior, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy tests were conducted. the results indicated that 5% for rubber particles, 10% for glass powder and also rubber particle size of 3-5 mm presented the best results among mixtures containing rubber and glass powder, in terms of compressive and tensile strengths.
