Because used tires represent an increasingly serious environmental problem in the United States, this study was undertaken to examine the feasibility of using finely ground rubber in Portland-cement concrete. Various percentages of rubber, by weight of cement, were added to a control mix and the effects on the plastic and hardened properties of concrete were investigated. Workability of the mixes was affected, but it was controllable. For hardened concretes, the tests were conducted for compressive strength, split-cylinder strength, modulus of elasticity, and flexural strength. Stress-strain response was also investigated. The strength and stiffness characteristics were markedly reduced for rubcrete mixtures.
