Abstract:
Surface modification of scrap tire rubber is a potential solution to improve compressive strength of rubberized concrete by altering the surface properties of rubber to enhance cement-rubber bonding. This presentation investigates the surface characteristics of rubber pretreated with a two-step chemical process and evaluates the effectiveness of this treatment process on the fresh and hardened state properties the resultant cement-rubber mortar composite.
