Abstract

The recycling of some of the waste is an important issue and very necessary to protect the environment and provide new sources of supply of raw materials. In this experimental research, a solution is suggested to recover the bulky waste, like the waste tire, in the form of aggregates used in the concrete industry. The work performed consists in incorporating used tires as aggregates by partial replacement of the sand in the preparation of sample mortars using different percentages of substitutions in volume varying from 0% to 50%. Physico-mechanical tests were carried out on the mortar mixes. The results obtained show that the use of waste tires as aggregates in the production of mortars can solve several problems related to their disposal and save natural resources related to the extraction of aggregates. Also, the results found show that the waste tires can be used to produce mortars employed for structural and non-structural applications.
