Properties of Light Weight Concrete Containing Crumb Rubber Subjected to High Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the compressive strength, unit weight and chemical structure of light weight concrete (LWC) containing crumb rubber after exposure to high temperature are investigated. The crumb rubber was used as light weight aggregate in place of normal aggregate at the content of 3-15 wt% of LWC. For all mixtures, the water/cement ratio and sand/cement ratio were fixed at 0.5 and 0.2, respectively. The experimental results showed that the unit weight of LWC containing crumb rubber decreased with increasing crumb rubber content. The unit weight and compressive strength values are in range of 1566-1761 kg/m3, 12-29 MPa, respectively. The LWCs containing 3-7 wt% and 15 wt% crumb rubber can meet the requirement of ASTM standards for structural light weight concrete and masonry, respectively. After high temperature exposure, the unit weight loss and compressive strength loss were 25% and 75%, respectively. All specimens still complied with the requirement of ASTM standard for masonry.
