 Abstract:

Due to the growing concern over the adverse effect and threat posed by waste tire all over the world, researchers have over the last two decades focused attention on the use of rubber obtained from the waste tire in the form of crumb rubber (CR) or powdered rubber (PR) as a construction material by incorporating it in cementitious composites. Although there exists a lot of research on the use of CR/PR in cementitious composites, the only literature reviews available are on rubberized mortars and concrete but not on engineered cementitious composites (ECC). This paper aims at contributing towards filling this gap by reviewing relevant research works on the use of CR/PR in ECC. The effect of the tire rubber addition on the properties of the composite in fresh and hardened states have been comprehensively reported. The results revealed that the incorporation of tire rubber in ECC enhances the tensile ductility but negatively affects the compressive strength.
