Application of rubberised concrete in earthquake prone areas is of significant importance. Although investigations have been conducted to research on the ductility of rubberised concrete, the behaviour of rubberised concrete with Burnt Clay Brick Powder (BCBP) is not well understood. This paper captures the ductility behaviour of rubberised concrete containing BCBP. In this study, 3 beams were investigated in flexure while the other 3 beams were made to fail in shear and flexure. For the beams that failed in flexure, ductility of concrete beams containing 5% BCBP and 10% Waste Tire Rubber (WTR) improved by 23.47% compared to control beam. This increase in ductility was evidenced with only 15.31% reduction in flexural load. Moreover, the beam containing 5% BCBP and 10% WTR failing in shear and flexure exhibited 14.59% ductility improvement with 16.33% load reduction in comparison to the control beam. Eventually, the study concluded that it is possible to achieve improved ductility without substantial loss in ultimate failure load by using 5% BCBP and 10% WTR. Such properties demonstrated that this rubberised concrete with 5% BCBP can be used in seismic applications.

Comprehensive collection of uniaxial stress-strain data for rubberized concrete.
Data Brief
February 2025
Civil Engineering Department, College of Engineering, King Saud University, P. O. Box 800, Riyadh 11421, Saudi Arabia.
This dataset article encompasses a thorough compilation of 80 uniaxial stress-strain datasets obtained from cylindrical rubberized concrete specimens subjected to compression testing. Data collection was meticulously conducted through a systematic review and extraction of stress-strain datasets from 68 rubberized concrete mixtures sourced from diverse literature references, incorporating rubber of different origins, sizes, volumes and characteristics. Additionally, stress-strain data for 48 cylindrical specimens, representing 12 different mixes with various rubber sizes and contents, were obtained from laboratory experiments performed by the author.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the influence of hooked-end steel fibers on modified self-compacting concrete (SCC) by incorporating residues like marble, granite, and rubber.
- It finds that increased rubber content improves energy absorption, suggesting a viable alternative for structural materials.
- The research assesses both fresh and hardened properties of SCC, revealing that mixtures with these additives can enhance damping ratios while also reducing cement usage, offering potential environmental benefits.
Expanded Polystyrene/Tyre Crumbs Composites as Promising Aggregates in Mortar and Concrete.
Polymers (Basel)

School of Engineering, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, VIC 3122, Australia.
A composite material comprising expanded polystyrene (EPS), granulated tyre rubber (GTR), and a compatibilizer is demonstrated as a possible replacement for fine and coarse agglomerates in mortar and concrete systems, respectively. Two different polymer blending processes (solvent/low shear blending and melt/high shear blending) are used, and the resulting composite material utilized as aggregate to replace sand and cement for mortar and concrete block development. Critical properties such as workability, compressive and flexural strengths, water absorption, bulk density, and porosity are measured before and after aggregate replacement.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers prepared recycled rubber straw concrete using rubber particles and straw powder, then evaluated its frost resistance through quick-freezing tests.
- They measured properties like elasticity, mass loss, and flexural strength during freezing and thawing, and used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study the concrete's microstructure post-testing.
- A prediction model for the concrete's performance based on mixing ratios was created using optimized BP neural networks, showing high accuracy for predicting flexural strength and freeze-thaw cycle resistance.

Waste and its environmental impact have driven the search for sustainable solutions across various industries, including construction. This study explores the incorporation of solid waste in the production of eco-friendly structural concrete, aiming to reduce pollution and promote ecological and sustainable construction practices. In this context, two types of eco-friendly concrete were produced using marine shells and recycled rubber as waste materials and compared with conventional concrete through experimental and computational approaches.
