Effect of compression casting method on the compressive strength, elastic modulus and microstructure of rubber concrete

Recycling rubber in the production of structural concrete is not considered a feasible option due to a significant reduction in the strength and elastic modulus of concrete. A novel concrete casting method is developed in this work that can greatly increase the strength and elastic modulus of rubber concrete. The mix design used in the study is the same as that for natural aggregate concrete (NAC), apart from replacing some of the natural coarse...
