Discarded tires are an important part of solid waste that has historically been deposited in landfills. However, recent EU waste disposal policies (Council Directive 1999/31 / EC) have banned the dumping of whole or shredded tires, which creates an imminent need to investigate possible viable uses of this waste. An emerging use is the production of concrete, in which the rubber particles of the tire partially replace the natural aggregates. This has the additional advantage of saving on natural aggregates used in the production of concrete that are increasingly scarce. This research investigated a wide range of physical and mechanical properties of concrete containing recycled aggregates to evaluate their suitability as a construction material. The influence of factors such as the content and size of the rubber aggregate as well as the curing time were also considered. The results showed that despite a large loss of strength, this type of concrete was acceptable for various applications requiring medium to low compressive strength. The quantities of concrete produced in the world for such applications could ensure the viability of this product. Therefore, this type of concrete promises to be an additional sustainable solution for the management of rubber tire waste.
