Experimental Analysis and Predictive Modeling of Mechanical Behavior in Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Waste Tyre Rubber Particles
Abstract: The disposal of end-of-life tyres poses a significant environmental and resource challenge owing to their large volumes and non-biodegradable nature. In this work, we explore the incorporation of waste tyre rubber particles (WTRP) into an epoxy resin matrix to develop sustainable polymer composites and examine their mechanical behavior both experimentally and through predictive modelling. Composites with differing epoxy: WTRP ratios (80:20, 75:25, 70:30 wt.%) and varying rubber particle mesh sizes …

Comprehensive Study on the Mechanical And Tribological Response of Waste Tyre Rubber–Natural Fiber Hybrid Epoxy Composites
Abstract: Research into the mechanical and tribological characteristics of Prosopis juliflora-fiber reinforced epoxy-matrix composites with recycled tyre rubber particles is the focus of this investigation. Making use of old tire rubber and bio-reinforcing with fibers from the common invasive plant Prosopis juliflora are the goals of the two-reinforcement technique. The end goal is to produce long-lasting, cost-effective engineered composite materials with improved performance. A constant epoxy resin matrix was used to …

Comparison of Index and Engineering properties of weak soils stabilized by Rubber Tyre Chips and Powder
Abstract: Engineered constructions on weak or soft ground soil carry inherent risks due to the instability of the foundation. Soft ground lacks the necessary strength to support structures adequately, making it prone to settlement, subsidence, or even collapse under the weight of buildings or infrastructure. Various methods of improvements are used to improve the soil's stability to support various loads.one of the solution is can use the waste products incorporated into …

Flexural Analysis of Concrete Specimens with Substantial Substitution of Cement by Marble Dust and Scrap Rubber as Fibre
Abstract: Concrete is a crucial material in building and construction. Concrete is becoming more and more in demand every day. Concrete's essential ingredients are running out, therefore we need to find replacements. In addition to providing the necessary strength to the concrete, the replacement materials should also have the properties of the genuine components used in concrete. Typically, compression is where concrete shines, whereas tension and shear are where it falters. …

Optimization of Polymer-Enhanced Sustainable Concrete: A Composite Approach with Bentonite and Crumb Rubber Aggregates
Abstract: The disposal of rubber tyres has become challenging; on the other hand, the utilization of rubber tyres is also increasing daily in society. The successful use of crumb rubber as an alternative aggregate and bentonite as a partial cement replacement in concrete composites has been well established through prior research. These materials have individually demonstrated their potential to enhance sustainability, improve concrete properties, and reduce environmental impact, paving the way …
