The recycling of waste tires is a major environmental problem facing mankind, and the addition crumbed tire rubber (CWTB) to base asphalt an extremely promising method. However, modification mechanism CWTB not well understood, which restricts development modified asphalt. In this study, was explored by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM...

With many years of construction and application of common concrete, researchers have always been searching for a better composition. One of the notable ideas for achieving such a composition is using recycled materials. One of the materials which is suitable for environment and constant development is damaged tires .For studying mechanical properties of concrete containing tire particles, a ser...

The energy performance of buildings and the high consumption traditional building materials are considered to be most important aspects that related implementation sustainability concept in construction industry with respect natural environment. At same time, another global ecological problem is represented by different types waste resulting from existing industries. Therefore, it necessary civ...

The challenge of making a structure as light and eco-friendly possible without sacrificing strength is fundamental in current construction design. Sandwich technology well-established lightweight design since the separation two thin face-sheets by core allows for outstanding excellent mechanical properties combined with high strength-to-weight ratio. aim this study was to characterize newly dev...

This report evaluates the effectiveness of rubber-asphalt and ebonite-asphalt mixes based on a review of published literature and unpublished reports. It discusses in detail various aspects of these mixes, including: diffe ent applications, physical properties, experiences of state highway agencies, and claimed advantages and problems associated with their use. The addition of ground tire rubbe...

At present the disposal of waste tyres is becoming a major waste management problem in the world. It is estimated that 1.2 billions of waste tyre rubber produced globally per year. It is estimated that 11% of post consumer tyres are exported and 27% are sent to landfill, stockpiled or dumped illegally and only 4% is used for civil engineering projects. Hence efforts have been taken to identify ...
