Abstract
Tyre recycling is getting a serious problem to solve in view of the application of the European Community Directive 99/31/CE which forbids the landfill disposal of used tyres. Thanks to the favourable properties (thermal and electrical insulation, vibrations damping, etc.) of the rubber residues, their use in building materials can result particularly attractive. In this paper the main types of rubberised concrete developed in the last ten years and their properties are reviewed; moreover first examples of self compacting mortars containing tyre wastes are reported with the aim to expand profitably the field of utilization of this residue.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
