Abstract
Abstract
Using recycling materials to produce concrete become a major subject for research in the last decades. The work aims to examine the effects of the partial replacement of fine aggregate by recycled rubber. In addition to studying the influence of two different fiber types on mechanical properties of concrete with rubber replacement. Three types of rubbers that differ in particle size are used to find the effect of rubber particle size on compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexure strength of the concrete mix. Two waste fiber types are used which are Rope Waste Fiber (RWF) and Steel Waste Fiber (SWF). The findings showed that minimizing the rubber particle size improved the mechanical properties. Also, using two types of waste fiber (rope and steel) together led to improve compressive strength.
