Comparative Effects of Chemical Pretreatments on Mechanical Properties of Sustainable Rubberized Concrete

Chemical pretreatments are known to have significant influence over mechanical properties of concrete and being able to quantify the effect of chemical pretreatments will be of great help in trying to anticipate the rubberized concrete’s possible mechanical properties. This paper presents an experimental study that was conducted on cylindrical concrete samples prepared by using different proportions of natural coarse aggregates (NCAs) replaced by pretreated; with different concentrations of chemicals, rubber coarse aggregates (RCAs). The aim was to ameliorate the mechanical properties of concrete using sustainable alternative; rubber coarse aggregate. After chemical treatment, washing and air drying, RCAs were first coated with cement paste and then dried and cured for 28 days to enhance their bonding behavior in concrete. The results confirmed the efficiency of pretreated RCAs, in improving the mechanical properties of rubberizes concrete especially the compressive strength.
