Physical Properties and Mechanical Behavior of Cement Mortars Containing Waste Tire Rubber Particles

摘要

The physical properties and mechanical behavior of cement mortars containing waste tire rubber particles (WTRP) were studied. Several mortar mixtures were prepared by replacing quartz sand with 100% of WTRP and by using cement content of 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 kg/m~3 respectively. Results indicated that dry bulk densities of the mortars containing WTRP were all less than 1000 kg/m~3. The mortars had a certain hydrophobic property. The 28 d compressive strengths of the mortars were 0.59~2.29 MPa and the thermal conductivity values were 0.096~0.152 W/(m.K) increased with the cement content increasing. So, the mortars containing WTRP can be used as thermal insulating material.
