Hence, it is essential to reuse/recycle this waste for clean environment. This study aims at investigating the effect of using high percentages of waste tire rubber (up to 40%) as a partial replacement of natural aggregates in the production of solid cement bricks. The characteristics of solid cement bricks including their physical and mechanical properties were determined and results were compared with the relevant standards. In addition, the behavior of bricks after exposure to elevated temperatures and heat/cool cycles was also investigated. This innovative application will open a new field for the recycling of considerable amounts of waste tire rubber for cleaner environment UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
