The increase in waste tires has brought serious environmental problems. Using waste tires rubber particles as aggregate in concrete can reduce pollution and decrease the usage of natural aggregate. The paper describes an investigation on flexural bearing capacity of self-compacting concrete (SCC) pavement slabs containing crumb rubber. Cyclic loading tests with different stress ratios and loading frequencies are carried out on SCC pavement slabs containing crumb rubber. Based on Paris Law and test data, the fatigue life of SCC pavement slab containing crumb rubber is discussed, and a revised mathematical model is established to predict the fatigue life of SCC pavement slab containing crumb rubber. The model applies to different stress ratios and loading frequencies. The fatigue life of SCC pavement slab containing crumb rubber is affected by the stress ratio and loading frequency. The fatigue life increases with the increase of stress ratio and loading frequency. Real-time acoustic emission (AE) signals in the SCC pavement slab containing crumb rubber under cyclic loading are measured, and the characteristics of crack propagation in the SCC pavement slab containing crumb rubber under different stress ratios and loading frequencies are compared. The AE signals provide abundant information of fracture process zone and crack propagation. The variation of AE ringing count, energy and b-value show that the fracture process of SCC pavement slab containing crumb rubber is divided into three stages.

최근 많은 양의 폐타이어가 발생됨에 따라 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있는 실정이며, 이에 대한 재활용은 각 분야에서 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 건설 분야에서는 폐타이어를 냉각 분쇄하여 만든 분말을 시멘트 콘크리트에 혼입하여 사용하는 연구가 많이 수행되고 있다. 시멘트 콘크리트에 폐타이어 분말을 혼입하여 사용할 때는 폐타이어 분말과 시멘트경화체 사이에서 접착성의 문제로 기초적 성질이 저감된다. 본 연구에서는 시멘트 모르터 내부에서 폐타이어 분말의 접착력을 증진시키기 위하여 시멘트 혼화용 폴리머 중의 하나인 스티렌 부타디엔 고무(SBR)라텍스를 사용하여 기초적 성질을 개선하고자 하였다. 실험결과 SBR 코팅 폐타이어 분말을 혼입한 시멘트 모르터는 코팅하지 않은 폐타이어 분말을 사용한 경우보다 기초적 성질이 개선되는 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 폴리머 시멘트비 10%를 사용한 SBR 라텍스 혼입 폴리머 시멘트 모르터의 경우에도 기초적 성질이 개선되었다.

This paper investigates the utilization of waste tyre crumb rubber as the fine aggregate in precast concrete Paving block (PCPB). PCPB's are generally preferred for city roads, pedestrian crosswalk, parking lots and bus terminals. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the mechanical properties of wet cast PCPB containing waste tyre crumb rubber. The mechanical properties were investigated using a density, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength tests at 7, 28 56 days according to the IS 15688:2006 and EN1338. The wet cast method was followed for producing PCPB samples. The fine aggregate (river sand) was replaced with waste tyre crumb in percentage of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by volume. All the test results were compared with the conventional PCPB (Without rubber). The test results indicate its feasibility for incorporating waste tyre crumb rubber in the production of PCPB by the wet cast method.

본 연구에서는 폐어망 보강과 폐타이어 분말 혼합에 따른 저회-폐타이어 혼합토의 전단특성을 고찰하였다. 실험에 사용된 저회-폐타이어 혼합토는 저회와 폐타이어 분말(입경 2mm~10mm)의 무게비를 각각 1:0 및 1:0.5로 구성하였으며, 준비된 저회-폐타이어 혼합토에 폐어망 보강 시 층수를 달리하여 보강함으로써 6종류의 시편(무보강 저회, 1층 혹은 2층 보강된 저회, 무보강 혼합토, 1층 혹은 2층 보강된 혼합토)을 준비하였다. 삼축압축시험을 수행한 결과 저회-폐타이어 혼합토의 전단특성은 폐어망 보강 층수와 폐타이어 분말 혼합에 크게 의존하는 것을 알 수 있다. 저회에 폐타이어 분말을 혼합하면 폐타이어 분말 자체의 압축적인 특성에 의해 내부마찰각은 감소한다. 그러나 폐어망 보강층수가 증가함에 따라 저회-폐타이어 혼합토의 내부마찰각은 증가한다. 이것은 폐어망과 저회-폐타이어 혼합토 입자간의 마찰 및 억물림 효과에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

This paper aims at investigating the effect of crumb rubber size and content on compressive behaviors of concrete under axial compression. Concrete specimens are designed and produced by replacing natural aggregate with crumb rubber content of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and three different sized crumb rubbers (No. 20, No. 40, No. 80 crumb rubber). And the failure mode, compressive strength, elastic modulus, stress-strain curves, peak strain and ultimate strain are experimentally studied. Based on the test results, formulas have been presented to determine the compressive strength, elastic modulus, the relationship between prism compressive strength and cube compressive strength, stress-strain curves and peak strain of crumb rubber concrete (CRC). It is found that the proposed formulas agree well with the test result on the whole, which may be used to practical applications.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of ingestion exposure of lead by particle sizes of crumb rubber in artificial turf filling material with consideration of bioavailability. Methods: This study estimated the ingestion exposure by particle sizes (more than 250 um or less than 250 um) focusing on recyclable ethylene propylene diene monomer crumb rubber being used as artificial turf filling. Analysis on crumb rubber was conducted using body ingestion exposure estimate method in which total content test method, acid extraction method and digestion extraction method are reflected. Bioavailability which is a calibrating factor was reflected in ingestion exposure estimate method and applied in exposure assessment and risk assessment. Two methods using acid extraction and digestion extraction concentration were compared and evaluated. Results: As a result of the ingestion exposure of crumb rubber material, the average lead exposure amount to the digestion extraction result among crumb rubber was calculated to be $1.56{\times}10^{-4}$ mg/kg-day for low grade elementary school students and $4.87{\times}10^{-5}$ mg/kg-day for middle and high school students in 250 um or less particle size, and that to the acid extraction result was higher than the digestion extraction result. Results of digestion extraction and acid extraction showed that the hazard quotient was estimated by about over 2 times more in particle size of lower than 250 um than in higher than 250 um. There was a case of an elementary school student in which the hazard quotient exceeded 0.1. Conclusions: Results of this study confirm that the exposure of lead ingestion and risk level increases as the particle size of crumb rubber gets smaller.

Bitumen and high-quality subangular aggregates, the two principal materials used for asphalt concrete construction, are finite and expensive materials. The general availability of crumb rubber and naturally occurring aggregates of different shapes, especially flat and elongated shapes, indicates that they are feasible alternative materials for expanding the volume of bitumen and utilizing a wider range of aggregate shapes for the development of asphalt concrete, with an associated environmental benefit. The study investigated the effect of adding up to 15% crumb rubber and aggregates sorted into different groups, i.e., rounded, elongated, flat, and their combinations, on the rheological and mechanical properties and durability of 50/70 of hot-mix asphalt pavement. The addition of crumb rubber decreased ductility and penetration but increased the softening point. For a 5.5% bitumen content, asphalt concrete briquettes consisting of 7% crumb rubber and three types of aggregate shapes, i.e., 100% rounded, a mix of 75% rounded and 25% elongated, and a mix of 75% rounded, 15% elongated and 10% flat, were associated with high Marshall stability and indirect tensile strength as well as low lateral deformation due to their high solidity and moderate angularity ratio. Also, the addition of 7% crumb rubber resulted in a significant improvement in the tensile strength ratio and rebound strain of briquettes consisting of 75% rounded and 25% elongated aggregates and those with 75% rounded, 15% elongated and 10% flat aggregates. In relation to the parameters investigated, the three groups of briquettes met some of the local (South Africa) requirements for the surface course and base course of low traffic volume roads.

본 연구는 폐 타이어를 미사질 토양에 혼합하여 경기장 식재층으로서의 질을 향상 시키고자 실시하였다. 특히 본 실험을 통해 토양에 혼합되는 폐 타이어의 입경 크기와 혼합량에 따라 식재층의 토양 물리적 특성을 측정하고자 하였다. 실험에서 두 종류의 토양 [Arenzville silt loam(coarse-silty, mixed, nonacid, mesic Typic Udifluvents), Hosmer silty clay loam(fine-silty, mixed, mesic Typic Fragiudalfs)]과 입경 크기(3.5, 6.5, 9.5mm)에 따라 세 가지의 폐 타이어를 사용하였다. 각각 크기별 토양에 혼합된 폐 타이어의 혼합 비율은 0에서 0.4 $g{\cdot}g^{-1}$ 사이였다. 각각의 처리구에 대한 실험 진행 및 물리성 조사는 미국 골프협회 Green Section Record 의 기준 방법에 준해서 실시하였다. 본 실험의 결과 토양에 혼합된 폐 타이어의 비율이 증가 할수록 토양의 총 공극량은 감소하였다. 하지만 입경 크기와 상관없이 폐 타이어의 혼합량이 0.15 $g{\cdot}g^{-1}$ 이하인 경우에는 대공극과 포화투수계수에 차이가 없었다. 반면 폐타이어가 0.15 $g{\cdot}g^{-1}$ 이상으로 혼합된 토양은 대 공극, 포화 투수계수, 그리고 공기 투과율이 대조구에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 개선되었다.

This paper investigates the effect of crumb rubber (CR) on compressive behaviour of crumb rubber concrete filled steel tube (CRCFST) stub columns. Therefore, experiments on 16 stub columns subjected to axial loading are carried out. The results show that the failure modes of CRCFST stub columns with different CR replacement ratios and CR size are similar, manifested the buckling of the outer steel tube. The axial bearing capacity and stiffness both decrease with an increase in CR replacement ratio, and with decreasing CR size.
