Special purpose concrete products from waste tyre recyclates
Abstract
The ways in which concrete properties are influenced by waste tyre recyclates, used as secondary raw materials, are presented in the paper. Taking advantage of these properties, several special-purpose construction products, containing raw materials obtained by tyre recycling, have been developed at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb. Each of these innovative products represents an environment-friendly, functional and cost-effective alternative to products traditionally used in engineering practice.
