Properties of concrete paving blocks made with waste marble (2012, background): “It is undoubtedly the best alternative to reduce the impact that the environment can suffer from the consumption of rawmaterials and the almost random generation of waste (Correia et al., 2011; Pelisser et al., 2011).”
A comprehensive review on the applications of waste tire rubber in cement concrete (2016, background): “[32] observed that the concrete with rubber has less rigidity when compared to control concrete.”
Optimisation of rubberised concrete with high rubber content: An experimental investigation (2016, background): “Ca(OH)2 [46], silane coupling agents [47], organic sulphur compounds [48] or acid [40], as well as partial oxidation of the rubber surface [49], exposure to UV radiations [50] or pre-coating with cement [51], mortar [26], silica fume [39], limestone [52] or sand [45].”
Freeze/thaw protection of concrete with optimum rubber crumb content (2012, methodology): “Pelisser et al. (2011), in their study of the effect of alkali activation on the compressive strength of concrete using silica fume and rubber particles over a range of sizes, discovered the occurrence of a gap at the interfacial zone between the rubber crumb and the concrete/cement paste.”
