INTRODUCTION
World population– 2.5 billion in 1950– 9 billion in 2050– World population is growing at an
continuous rate creating a need for more sustainable building practices involving concrete
World demand/year– 11.5 billion tons of concrete– 1.5 billion tons of cement– 1 billion tons of water– 9 billion tons of aggregate
Conservation of resources– Waste products of one industry can be
recycled as a substitute for virgin raw materials of another, reducing the environmental impact of both.
– Currently 140 million tons of concrete is being recycled in the U.S. per year.
– Sand is being consumed at a far greater rate than its renewal, which necessitates the need to find sustainable alternatives.

Recycled Products for Coarse Aggregates– Concrete– Glass– Bricks– Ceramics
Recycled Products for Fine Aggregates– Pulverized plastic– Sheet glass powder– Crushed granite fine– Fly ash
Rubber Tires– 10 billion scrap tires are stockpiled globally– State landfill regulations7
• 38 states ban whole tires from landfills• Leach toxins into the environment• Create harmful fires• Emit significant amounts of CO2 and dioxins
when burned as fuel One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

CONCLUSIONS Highlights
– Baseline concrete samples reached 9,049 psi– Achieved a 3,000 and 4,000 PSI ultimate strength with one of the rubber
formulations – TEST MARK– Toughness enhanced with the addition of rubber– Although the ultimate strength and modulus are decreased, the balance of
stiffness and toughness should be valuable in many applications– To be commercially viable, however, an improvement in the interfacial
adhesion between the rubber and the cement need to be investigated– With rubber added to the concrete mix the overall weight would significantly
reduce fuel cost in transportation.
Where do we go from here?– The evaluation of additives to gain back some of the strength lost upon the
addition of the recycled tire rubber while maintaining the toughness– Long term durability testing will also be required
