Crumb rubber concrete (CRC) is a mixture of plain portland cement concrete with rubber crumbs, granular material produced by shredding and comminuting scrap automobile tires. Engineering research on CRC begun in the late 1980s and early 1990s. One of the early studies was carried out by Eldin and Senouci1 who explored the effect of rubber chips and rubber crumbs on the compressive and tensile (flexural) strengths of concrete mixtures. After 30 years of research, CRC material properties have been extensively studied and are now well understood.2 In comparison with plain concrete, CRC has increased ductility, deformation capacity, energy absorption, damping capacity, and resistance to cyclic freezing and thawing as well as decreased water permeability, chloride ion permeability, and thermal expansion. These results have been repeatedly observed in laboratory experiments, and CRC's ability to resist cracking has been found to be exceptionally profound.
