Concrete with Tire Rubber for Low-Traffic Pavement Blocks

Luzilane Souza Silva's research dataset analyzes concrete mixes with 6% and 9% weight of tire retreading rubber residue for use in interlocked pavement blocks. The data includes results from mechanical behavior, water absorption, gradation, specific weight, and microscopic analyses. The study found the mixes exceeded the 35 MPa strength requirement of Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 9781/2013, with a 4% reduction in production costs.

Use Cases

• Predicting concrete strength reduction based on rubber content percentages mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the relationship between rubber content and water absorption properties described in the experimental method
• Evaluating the economic viability of rubberized concrete based on the reported 4% lower production costs
• Assessing environmental benefits of tire waste reuse in construction materials as discussed in the abstract

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results for strength reduction (15.24% and 17.27%) for two rubber content levels
• References compliance with a specific technical standard (ABNT NBR 9781/2013) requiring 35 MPa strength
• Reports concrete economic advantage with 4% lower production costs for rubber mixes

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
