Ameliorating Precast Concrete Curbs Using Rubber and Nano Material
Abstract: Disposal of waste
tire rubber has become one of the major environmental issues in each part the
World. One of the possible solutions to dispose of scrap tire rubber is using
them into concrete curbs. This paper presents a new method to ameliorate the
rubber concrete using a particular rubber size and Nano Material. Initially six
mix designs were performed to determine the optimized size and percentage of
rubber according to compressive strength. Afterwards, the major concrete curbs
were made with the optimum mix design. Three different samples were made to
determine the effects of rubber and Nano. One of which was made without rubber
and Nano, the other was made with rubber and the last with rubber and Nano.
Experiments were carried out to determine the durability and strength of
specimens according to ISIRI-12728.
