폐타이어를 처리하는데는 매립, 소각, 재활용법으로 구분되어 있다. 이중 재활용에 대한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 폐타이어 재활용법에는 원형이용, 열이용, 분말가공 이용법이 있고 본 연구에서는 이중 분말가공 방법에 의하여 고무보도블럭 제조에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 고무보도블럭 제조공정은 폐타이어를 수집하여 분쇄공정에 의해 얻은 폐타이어 고무 분말을 접착제(binder)와 혼합하여 성형하는 방법이다. 본문에서는 binder 종류에 따라 물성의 변화를 비교하여 보았고, 표면 코팅, 2층 구조 고무보도블럭을 다루어 경제적인 고무보도블럭 제조에 대하여 논하였다.

The use of waste materials as a binder or aggregate in the concrete mixture is a great step towards sustainability in the construction industry. Waste rubber (WR) can be used as coarse and fine aggregates in concrete and improves the crack resistance, impact resistance, and fatigue life of the produced concrete. However, the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete degrade significantly by replacing the natural aggregate with WR. To have accurate estimations of the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete, two machine learning methods consisting of artificial neural network (ANN) and neuro-fuzzy system (NFS) were served in this study. To do this, a comprehensive dataset was collected from reliable literature, and two scenarios were addressed for the selection of input variables. In the first scenario, the critical ratios of the rubberized concrete and the concrete age were considered as the input variables. In contrast, the mechanical properties of concrete without WR and the percentage of aggregate volume replaced by WR were assumed as the input variables in the second scenario. The results show that the first scenario models outperform the models proposed by the second scenario. Moreover, the developed ANN models are more reliable than the proposed NFS models in most cases.

폐타이어와 폐수지 처리 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 재생 폴리에틸렌 수지와 신재HDPE를 폐타이어 분말(GWTP)과 치합형 동방향 회전 이축 압출기(Fuly Intermeshing Co-rotating Twin Screw Extruder)를 이용하여 각 조성별로 용융 훈련하여 재생 PE/폐타이어 복합체를 제조하였다. 본 연구에서는 플라스틱 수지 (재생 PE, HDPE)와 폐타이어 분말의 혼합비를 $0\sim50$wt.%로 하였으며, ASTM에 의거하여 인장강도, 파단신율, 충격강도 등의 물성 변화를 확인하였다. 폐타이어 분말 함량이 증가할수록 인장강도가 감소하고 파단신율이 증가하였다. 한편 충격강도는 폐타이어 분말 함량이 30 wt.%일 때 최대이고, 함량이 증가할수록 충격 강도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 형태학적 고찰에서는 폐타이어 분말의 함량의 증가함에 따라 파단면이 거칠어지는 형상을 관찰하였다. 모세관점도계(Capillary Rheometer)를 이용하여 재생 PE/폐타이어 분말 복합체의 전단속도의 변화에 따른 용융전단점도의 변화와 연화점 (Ts) 등의 유변학적 성질을 분석한 결과, 폐타이어 분말 함량 증가에 따라 외부 응력에 대한 흐름 저항성을 증가시켜 용융점도가 상승하는 결과를 보였으며 측정된 전단율에서 전단 점도는 Power-law 거동을 보였다.

The impacts of waste tire rubber (WTR) on the bending conduct of reinforced concrete beams (RCBs) are investigated in visualization of experimental tests and 3D finite element model (FEM) using both ANSYS and SAP2000. Several WTR rates are used in total 4 various full scale RCBs to observe the impact of WTR rate on the rupture and bending conduct of RCBs. For this purpose, the volumetric ratios (Vf) of WTR were chosen to change to 0%, 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% in the whole concrete. In relation to experimental test consequences, bending and rupture behaviors of the RCBs are observed. The best performance among the beams was observed in the beams with 2.5% WTR. Furthermore, as stated by test consequences, it is noticed that while WTR rate in the RCBs is improved, max. bending in the RCBs rises. For test consequences, it is clearly recognized as WTR rate in the RCB mixture is improved from 0% to 2.5%, deformation value in the RCB remarkably rises from 3.89 cm to 7.69 cm. This consequence is markedly recognized that WTR rates have a favorable result on deformation values in the RCBs. Furthermore, experimental tests are compared to 3D FEM consequences via using ANSYS software. In the ANSYS, special element types are formed and nonlinear multilinear misses plasticity material model and bilinear misses plasticity material model are chosen for concrete and compression and tension elements. As a consequence, it is noticed that each WTR rates in the RCBs mixture have dissimilar bending and rupture impacts on the RCBs. Then, to observe the impacts of WTR rate on the constructions under near-fault ground motions, a reinforced-concrete building was modelled via using SAP2000 software using 3-D model of the construction to complete nonlinear static analysis. Beam, column, steel haunch elements are modeled as nonlinear frame elements. Consequently, the seismic impacts of WTR rate on the lateral motions of each floor are obviously investigated particularly. Considering reduction in weight of structure and capacity of the members with using waste tire rubber, 2.5% of WTR resulted in the best performance while the construction is subjected to near fault earthquakes. Moreover, it is noticeably recognized that WTR rate has opposing influences on the seismic displacement behavior of the RC constructions.

Utilization of waste tires may be considered as one of the solution to the problems faced by the local authorities in disposing them. Reclaimed rubber (RR) is being used in concrete for replacing conventional aggregates. This research work is focused on the strength prediction of reclaimed rubber concrete using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for M40 grade of concrete and comparing it with experimental results. 1000 sets were taken and 100 iterations were run during training of GA models. A base study has been carried out in this research work partially replacing cement with three types of fillers such as Plaster of Paris (POP), Fly Ash (FA) and Silica Fume (SF). A total of 243 cubes were cast and tested for compression using a Universal Testing Machine. It was found that SF produced maximum strength in concrete and was used in the main study with reclaimed rubber. Tests were conducted on 81 cube samples with a combination of optimum SF percent and various proportions of RR replacing coarse aggregates in concrete mix. Compressive strength tests of concrete at 7, 14 and 28 days reveal that the maximum strength is obtained at 12 percent replacement of cement and 9 percent replacement of coarse aggregates respectively. Moreover the GA results were found to be in line with the experimental results obtained.

Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) are increasingly used as composite sections in structures owing to their excellent load bearing capacity. Therefore, predicting the mechanical behavior of CFST sections under axial compression loading is vital for design purposes. This paper presents the first study on the nonlinear analysis of heated CFSTs with high-strength concrete core containing steel fiber and waste tire rubber under axial compression loading. CFSTs had steel fibers with 0, 1, and 1.5% volume fractions and 0, 5, and 10% rubber particles as sand alternative material. They were subjected to 20, 250, 500, and 750℃ temperatures. Using flow rule and analytical analysis, a model is developed to predict the load bearing capacity of steel tube, and hoop strain-axial strain relationship, and axial stress-volumetric strain relationship of CFSTs. An elastic-plastic analysis method is applied to determine the axial and hoop stresses of the steel tube, considering elastic, yield, and strain hardening stages of steel in its stress-strain curve. The axial stress in the concrete core is determined as the difference between the total experimental axial stress and the axial stress of steel tube obtained from modeling. The results show that steel tube in CFSTs under 750℃ exhibits a higher load bearing contribution compared to those under 20, 250, and 500℃. It is also found that the ratio of load bearing capacity of steel tube at peak point to the load bearing capacity of CFST at peak load is noticeable such that this ratio is in the ranges of 0.21-0.33 and 0.31-0.38 for the CFST specimens with a steel tube thickness of 2 and 3.5 mm, respectively. In addition, after the steel tube yielding, the load bearing capacity of the tube decreases due to the reduction of its axial stiffness and the increase of hoop strain rate, which is in the range of about 20 to 40%.
