Unleashing the Flexural Behavior of Ceramic Hybrid Rubber Reinforced Composites for Sustainable Industry
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 1 (2024) pp. 78-84
Abstract
An innovative methodology is employed to explore the potential of repurposing floor ceramics and used tire rubber for fine aggregate. In contrast to one-way ordinary concrete slabs, the behavior of Ceramic Hybrid Rubber Reinforced Composite Slabs (CHRRCS) under pure bending has been thoroughly examined. There is no discernible negative effect of the quantity of ceramic floor tiles on the characteristics of concrete. In this study, M30 concrete with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.38 is employed. The distribution reinforcement was made up of bars with an 8 mm diameter, while the main reinforcement was made up of 10 mm diameter Fe 415 grade steel bars. The CHRRCS with 2% rubber fibers, 10% replacement ceramic, and 10% pre-treated crumb rubber exhibit more significant deflection only under extreme stress conditions. Apart from the experimental study, ABAQUS was used to perform a finite element model in three-dimensional simulation and analyze the load-displacement behavior. The comparison of ABAQUS simulation and experimental data yields a fair range. The flexural performance of CHRRCS is enhanced in pure bending.
