Experimental investigation on bond-slip behavior of selfconsolidating rubberized concrete

Reducing the industry’s impact on the environment is the goal of sustainable construction which can be achieved by using renewable and recyclable resources such as scrap tire waste. The great potential of this waste is found in construction mostly as a partial replacement of mineral aggregate in concrete and mortars, asphalt mixtures and geotechnical works. Previous studies on the self-consolidating rubberized concrete (SCRC) are mostly concerned with the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete. However, in order to allow structural application, it is also necessary to investigate bond-slip behavior of SCRC and reinforcement bars. Thus, in this paper pull-out tests are performed on 24 cubic samples with reinforcement confinement. Three different SCRC mixtures are made, first with concrete without rubber particles as reference mixture, second with 10%, and third with 15% rubber particles and 5% silica fume. The other parameter varied is diameter of steel bars ("∅12, ∅16, and ∅20 mm"). From the results obtained in experimental investigation, key bond parameters and failure modes of SCRC are compared with bond-slip behavior of self- consolidating concrete (SCC).
