Mechanical and Acoustic Performance of Concrete Containing Vermiculite and Rubber

The excessive production of new tires and the inappropriate disposal waste have caused serious environmental public health problems. To properly dispose this liability, these rubber residues been used in cement composites to improve some their properties hardened state. This study evaluates incorporation vermiculite concrete terms mechanical acoustic properties. Different compositions were defined where replace natural sand mass. characterize concretes, tests, analysis microstructure material carried out better understand its An improvement can be seen with vermiculite. Thus, great contribution research is development for barriers, technically viable, adding benefits.
