STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR AND M-K VALUE OF COMPOSITE SLAB UTILIZING CONCRETE CONTAINING CRUMB RUBBER

Abstract Many research works have been conducted to study the fresh and hardened properties of concrete containing crumb rubber as replacement to fine aggregate. The outcome of these researches indicated that though the compressive and flexural strength of crumb rubber concrete (CRC) decreased as percentage of fine aggregate replacement increased; the CRC has lower unit weight, better slump values, better toughness and absorb more energy before failure. In view of the fact that the main strength of composite floor slab lies within the bond between the concrete and the profiled steel sheeting, therefore the using of more ductile concrete such as CRC to toping the profiled steel sheeting could produce a new composite slab system. Two sets of slabs; each set comprising three CRC composite slabs and one conventional concrete slab has been tested with two shear span (450 and 900 mm). The results showed that the CRC slabs behavior could be characterized as ductile, while the m–k value has been found to be 80.7 and 0.037, respectively.
