Abstract Crumb rubber concrete (CRC) with waste rubber as aggregate has emerged in the past decades. In this paper, the microstructure, numerical microstructure simulation, pore structure features, mechanical properties and structural members of CRC are reviewed from microscale, mesoscale and macroscopic perspectives. The ductility, toughness, damping ratio, fatigue resistance, impact resistance, and durability of the concrete are improved, which is widely used in road engineering and shows a promising future application in structural engineering. Future research should combine the current situation of multi-scale research of CRC and promote further multi-scale research and the application of CRC.
