Abstract

Sustainable construction procedures use recyclable material; thus, the construction process and design choices are focused on planet health. SCC is a new generation of concrete that offers the achievement of high durability and flexibility in Rubberized Self-Compacting Concrete (RSCC) by employing recycled tire rubber and Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). This review investigates the mechanical and cracking characteristics of rubberized self-compacting concrete and rubber content effects. Formwork requirement is brought down by the concrete’s ability to compact itself, thereby increasing user satisfaction. Energy is effectively absorbed, the flexibility of concrete is increased, and tire disposal is made simpler with rubber granules. Rubber penetration lowers the concrete's stiffness and leads to a change in its strength failure behavior. This review evaluates the fundamentally new mechanical and fracture mechanics characteristics of RSCC, including crack growth, fracture energies, and rendered resistance to crack initiation. Afterward, the bond between rubber and cement decreases, the strength reduces, and the samples fail. Although having lower compressive strength, rubber particles improve the overall toughness to yield and help to resist cracks and defects. This research also indicated that RSCC can assist a large number of hybrid-design systems, and various load combinations were evaluated. More work remains to be done to enhance the RSCC. Therefore, it is necessary to continue the research to define materials that have the needed characteristics for modern constructions so for their economic and ecological efficiency. Second, more research has to be done concerning the production of rubber particles and RSCC.

Highlights

The use of waste rubber tires as aggregate in SCC is explored. Rubber enhances toughness and crack resistance but reduces compressive strength. Optimizing rubber content in RSCC balances mechanical properties and fracture toughness. RSCC suits non-structural uses like barriers; more research is needed for dynamic structural applications.
