Behaviour Of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) Containing Crumb Rubber Particles Subjected To Elevated Temperature

The growing amount of the waste tires have raised ever-increasing environmental
concern with the development of the automobile industries. Therefore, utilization of
crumb rubber in Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) has attracted attention in
the construction industry. During the elevated temperature, the crumb rubber (CR)
melts and creates escape routes for build-up pressure due to moisture and the matrix.
This research reports the influence of crumb rubber on the residual compressive
strength of ECC and temperature after expose to elevated temperature up to 1000℃.
CR-ECC mixes were developed toward utilizing crumb rubber in the percentage of
0%, 1%, 3% and 5%.”
