What is it about?
Replacing the coarse aggregates into concrete by the rubber aggregates and to study their impact on mechanical properties of the obtained samples. In fact, the rubber aggregates have less specific gravity and are available in huge amounts worldwide. To produce our lightweight concrete, we replaced coarse aggregates with rubber aggregates by varying the replacement proportion from 0% to 30% with increment of 10%. The obtained samples were subject to several heating / cooling cycles from 25 ° C up to 600 ° C. Then, the sonic auscultation, tensile and compressive tests were carried out to assess the effect of temperature variation on the mechanical properties.

Why is it important?
The use of rubber aggregates concrete, is important for saving natural aggregate resources as well as the obligation to recycle the waste for the sake of the environment.
