Description

Eco-friendly Ultra-High Performance Rubberised Concrete . To reduce the carbon footprint of cement production in the construction industry, the development of low-carbon construction materials made from less Portland cement is a national priority. This project aims to replace natural aggregates in concrete with rubber particles from recycled tyres and replace energy-intensive cement with supplementary cementitious materials in a way that overcomes current problems with rubberised concrete. After developing an ultra-high performance eco-friendly rubberised concrete the project will explore its static and dynamic material and structural properties. The application in engineering practices such as roadside barriers will be studied leading to many advantages to construction industries and society. . Scheme: Linkage Projects.
