Highlights This is a state-of-art review of rubberized recycled aggregate concrete (RRAC) and fiber-reinforced rubberized recycled aggregate concrete (FRRAC). Different mechanical properties, microstructural analysis, and life cycle assessment of RRAC and FRRAC have been reviewed. Extensive regression analysis has been conducted to predict different mechanical properties of RRAC and FRRAC. Crumb rubber (CR) and recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) reduced the strength, however, fiber addition could have a positive response. Addition of CR and fibers enhanced the toughness and ductility of RRAC; however, excessive amount of CR negatively affected the toughness. RCA and CR can be used up to 30% and 10%, respectively.
Abstract The growing population demands rapid development of infrastructures. However, the construction industry is searching for environmentally sustainable and eco-friendly building materials to fight climate change. Millions of tires are discarded globally, and only certain percentages are recycled. The use of rubber tires as a natural aggregate replacement in concrete has gained popularity among the research community in the past few years, primarily due to its ductility and toughness properties. A significant number of investigations have been reported in the past using recycled coarse aggregates (RCA), crumb rubber (CR), and fibers separately in concrete. The results revealed that the addition of rubber particles along with RCA in concrete reduced the strength. However, the inclusion of fibers in the same mixtures significantly improved the mechanical properties of concrete by acting as a bridge within the concrete matrix for the surrounding cracks. In this review paper, over 220 research articles from the last 30 years reporting the effect of RCA, CR, and fibers on the mechanical and physical properties of rubberized recycled aggregate concrete (RRAC) and fiber-reinforced rubberized recycled aggregate concrete (FRRAC) are summarized. This paper presents in detail the influencing factors that affect the physical and mechanical properties of RRAC and FRRAC. The performance of FRRAC depends on the types of fiber and CR, treatment of CR, RCA sources, and the mix design of concrete. Based on the review, recommendations are provided for optimized FRRAC production. Simplified equations have been proposed to predict the tensile and flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of RRAC and FRRAC. An overview of predicting the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete using different machine-learning algorithms has been presented. Finally, this review paper will help scholars understand the use of RCA and CR in concrete as aggregate replacement materials and create waste material utilization opportunities for the sustainable green construction industry.
