In this study, an analysis of rubberized concrete was done according to composite material rules. The rubberized concrete analyzed was created using various proportions of normal C 16 concrete with bits of scrap automobile tires. Being composed of mortar, aggregate and rubber, the concrete was treated as a three-phase composite. In determining equations for elastic constants, it was observed that experimental results complied conclusively with equations used for composite material rules. An equation was solved to determine the elasticity moduli. Then it was observed that the validity of equation proposed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
