          Abstract

          The objective of this work was to study concrete compounds modified with automobile tire tread residues, through destructive and non destructive essays. Compressive, indirect tensile strength and flexural strength studies done to compounds with different compositions of rubber waste (5 and 10 wt%) and with different rubber particle size at ages of 7, 28 and 60 days, indicate that the scrap rubber addition decreases these mechanical properties. Nonetheless, this behavior can be profitable when some ductility of the material is required. When analyzing water/cement ratios (0.45, 0.60), it was demonstrated that higher values of mechanical properties are obtained with the lower ratio. With respect to impact tests, the rubber addition considerably improved the energy absorption. It was also observed that an improvement in the capacity of concrete-rubber composites for attenuating the acoustic waves respect to traditional concrete was not achieved. Thus, it is feasible to reuse scrap rubber, regardless its particle size, as aggregates for concrete mixtures since the main characteristics of the concrete are not deteriorated. Besides, we can expect a reduction of self-weight of concrete and also the protection of the environment by recycling waste resources.

          El principal objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar compuestos de concreto modificados con residuos de cauchos de automóviles, a través de ensayos destructivos y no destructivos. Análisis de la resistencia a la compresión, resistencia tensil indirecta y resistencia a la flexión, fueron realizados a los diferentes compuestos con diferentes contenidos (5 y 10%) y tamaños de partículas de caucho a las edades de 7, 28 y 60 días, indicando que los residuos de caucho disminuyen estas propiedades mecánicas. Sin embargo, este comportamiento es beneficioso cuando alguna ductilidad del material se requiere. En el análisis de las relaciones agua/cemento (a/c), se observó que los mejores resultados se obtuvieron a la más baja relación a/c. Con respecto a los ensayos de impacto, se demostró que ocurre una mejor absorción de energía con la adición de caucho. Por otra parte, no se obtuvo una mayor capacidad de atenuación de las ondas sonoras al compararlo con el concreto tradicional. En resumen, la utilización de residuos de caucho en el concreto no deteriora las principales características del concreto tradicional reduciendo el peso del mismo y logrando la protección del ambiente reciclando fuentes de desecho.

            Recycling of waste glass as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in concrete.

            Waste glass creates serious environmental problems, mainly due to the inconsistency of waste glass streams. With increasing environmental pressure to reduce solid waste and to recycle as much as possible, the concrete industry has adopted a number of methods to achieve this goal. The properties of concretes containing waste glass as fine aggregate were investigated in this study. The strength properties and ASR expansion were analyzed in terms of waste glass content. An overall quantity of 80 kg of crushed waste glass was used as a partial replacement for sand at 10%, 15%, and 20% with 900 kg of concrete mixes. The results proved 80% pozzolanic strength activity given by waste glass after 28 days. The flexural strength and compressive strength of specimens with 20% waste glass content were 10.99% and 4.23%, respectively, higher than those of the control specimen at 28 days. The mortar bar tests demonstrated that the finely crushed waste glass helped reduce expansion by 66% as compared with the control mix.

              Properties of lightweight aggregate concrete prepared with PVC granules derived from scraped PVC pipes.

              This paper aims to investigate the fresh and hardened properties of lightweight aggregate concretes that are prepared with the use of recycled plastic waste sourced from scraped PVC pipes to replace river sand as fine aggregates. A number of laboratory prepared concrete mixes were tested, in which river sand was partially replaced by PVC plastic waste granules in percentages of 0%, 5%, 15%, 30% and 45% by volume. Two major findings are identified. The positive side shows that the concrete prepared with a partial replacement by PVC was lighter (lower density), was more ductile (greater Poisson's ratios and reduced modulus of elasticity), and had lower drying shrinkage and higher resistance to chloride ion penetration. The negative side reveals that the workability, compressive strength and tensile splitting strength of the concretes were reduced. The results gathered would form a part of useful information for recycling PVC plastic waste in lightweight concrete mixes.
