Determining the Precise Physical Properties of Rubber Aggregate Derived from Discarded Tires
The evolution of the automobile industry has led to the generation of massive amounts of Waste Tire Rubber (WTR), engendering detrimental impacts on the natural environment and human health. Moreover, the non-biodegradable properties of WTR have further escalated the challenges in managing tire-related solid waste only using conventional methods. Hence, it is imperative to introduce a sustainable practice for recycling discarded tires as an urgent necessity. As a result, using Rubber Aggregate (RA) as an alternative aggregate to replace Natural Aggregate (NA) in concrete has been recognized as a promising execution to lessen the above circumstances effectively. Moreover, this approach offers additional benefits, such as providing a timely solution for minimizing the consumption of NA and ameliorating sustainable practices in the construction sector. Nevertheless, previous literature underscored that although plenty of investigations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of Rubberized Concrete (RuC), limited studies have focused on identifying the properties of RA derived from waste tires. Moreover, among these investigations, numerous conflicting findings for specific gravity, bulk density, and water absorption of RA have been reported, highlighting the requirement for further investigations. Hence, conducting a comprehensive investigation to evaluate the precise physical properties of RA is crucial, as the strength reduction associated with RuC can only be lessened by understanding the authentic properties of rubber particles with effective surface treatment methods for modifying the surface texture. Consequently, in this investigation, the variation of specific gravity and water absorption of RA over the saturation period was evaluated as a novel approach to cognize the real behavior when RA is exposed to water. Moreover, material properties related to RA and Waste Tire Steel Fibers (WTSF) were investigated, and significant deviations compared to NA were recorded for further investigations.
