TI  - Mechanical behavior investigation of rubberized concrete barriers in impact load
AB  - Approximately 1.5 million waste tires are produced annually. Waste tires in landfills and stocks cause toxic chemicals to pollute the soil and cause major fires. Waste tires are a global environmental problem. This problem gave an idea of recycling of waste tires instead of landfills and stocks. In this paper, an experimental study is conducted to review the behavior under impact load of rubberized concrete with conventional concrete. Three different mixes were made by adding crumb rubber (0%, 5% and 10%) by volume to the concrete. Nine cantilever column specimens of three type cross section (10x10, 15x15 and 20x20 cm2) were used to investigate the behavior under impact load. The specimens with higher rubberized concrete have longer impact load duration at the initial peak point. Specimens with rubber content become much flexible than normal specimens. Furthermore, the damage level of columns is greater with increasing rubber content. Therefore, the specimens with higher rubberized concrete absorb more impact energy. The barriers with higher rubber content minimize injury and demise when an accidental impact happens. Using concrete with rubber content reduces costs and produces an environmentally sustainable solution.
