Abstract
This chapter introduces the use of end-of-life tire-extracted materials into concrete mixtures and provides guidelines on the successful reuse of materials such as tire steel fibers and cords, tire rubber particles, and tire textile polymer fibers in innovative concrete mixtures. Incorporation of end-of-life tire materials in concrete can have significant effects on the material properties and this chapter discusses the most important studied properties based on end-of-life tire material incorporated into the concrete mixture along with recommended dosages for optimal performance. The chapter focuses on the development of steel fiber-reinforced concrete, rubberized concrete, and steel-fiber-reinforced rubberized concrete as well as textile fiber-reinforced concrete, including properties of the end-of-life tire materials used, mix design process guidelines, and a discussion on the fresh and hardened concrete properties as modified by the incorporation of end-of-life tire materials into concrete.
