Xue), a b s t r a c t This study presents rubberized concrete composite as a new structural material aiming for an enhanced energy dissipation capability and thus improved seismic performance by mixing recycled rubber crumb with concrete. While rubberized concrete is not new, this study represents the first investigation on damping and dynamic (including seismic) behaviors of rubberized concrete for its potential application as structural material. Small-scale column models were fabricated using rubberized concrete with differ- ent proportions of rubber crumb to evaluate the structural dynamic performance, including free vibration tests to identify damping ratios and seismic shaking table tests to investigate the structural responses to earthquake ground motion. Meanwhile, rubberized concrete cylinders were tested to evaluate compres- sive strength and modulus of elasticity. It was observed that the damping coefficient of the rubberized concrete increased by 62% compared with normal concrete and, as a result, the seismic response accel- eration of the structure decreased by 27%. However the concrete suffered from reduction in compressive strength as rubber crumb was added. It was found that adding silica fume to rubberized concrete improved the bonding between the rubber and cement and thus the concrete strength. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of using the environmentally-friendly rubberized concrete as structural material to enhance dynamic performance and reduce seismic response of concrete structures. � 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The introduction of steel reinforcement in the late 19 century significantly increased the tensile strength of concrete, but reinforced concrete structures are still vulnerable to severe earthquakes that release significant kinetic energy over a short period of time. A more energy-dissipative concrete is highly desired. ll rights reserved. Irvine, CA 92618, USA shino@uci.edu (M.

Although scrapped tire manage- ment programs started in many states, there were still 128 million tires remain stockpiled throughout the US [1]. These stockpiles present the threat of uncontrolled fires and other environmental hazards. Because of the rapid depletion of available sites for waste disposal, scrapping of waste tires in landfills becomes extremely dangerous. Over the years, disposal of waste tires has become one of the most serious environmental issues. To alleviate this problem, new green materials are being devel- oped using recycled tire rubber, with one example being rubber- ized concrete, in which rubber crumb replace some of the aggregates in concrete. Rubberized concrete has become an emerg- http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2013.01.005 mailto:jamesxue100@gmail.com mailto:shino@uci.edu http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2013.01.005 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/09500618 http://www.elsevier.com/locate/conbuildmat J. Xue, M. Shinozuka / Construction and Building Materials 42 (2013) 196–204 197 ing research topic in recent years. So far, most of the studies have focused on the evaluation of mechanical properties of rubberized concrete mixture [e.g., 2–6]. It was demonstrated that addition of recycled rubber crumb could increase the deformability and ductil- ity of the concrete. At the same time, concerns about reduction in compressive strength of rubberized concrete have been raised [7,8], which is attributed to the poor bonding between the rubber particles and the cement paste [9]. There are many areas in civil engineering where the rubberized concrete may find its niche applications, in which the material strength is not crucial such as road traffic barriers. Different from previous work, this study investigates the poten- tial use of rubberized concrete as structural material, focusing on the evaluation of damping and dynamic behavior of the rubberized concrete, and aiming at increase in energy dissipation without sac- rificing load-bearing strength of concrete. More energy dissipation would improve seismic safety of concrete structures such as bridges and buildings. Numerous efforts have been made to im- prove seismic performance of structures by increasing energy dis- sipation. For example, mechanical dampers have been installed to bridges and buildings for seismic retrofit, but high maintenance costs and long-term reliability issues prevent their wide applica- tions. A more desirable approach is to develop structural materials with higher damping than the conventional concrete, which would enable cost-effective design, construction, and maintenance. Rub- berized concrete has shown higher damping than normal concrete in viscoelastic regime when 3.5–5% of aggregates were replaced by rubber crumb [10]. In this study, rubberized concrete column specimens were fab- ricated by replacing coarse aggregates with scrapped tire rubber crumb at different volumetric ratios, and their dynamic properties including damping ratio and seismic response were experimentally investigated through free vibration and shaking table tests.

The effective- ness of adding silica fume, a fine grain with a high surface-to- volume ratio, for improving the compressive strength was studied by comparing the results from specimens with and without the silica fume. The mechanism of strength loss in the rubberized concrete was also investigated. 2. Rubberizedconcrete specimens Two types of concrete specimens were prepared and fabricated; one is small- scale concrete columns, each with a lumped mass, for the free vibration and seismic shaking table tests, and the other is cylindrical specimens for the compression tests. Each type included normal concrete and rubberized concrete specimens with differ- ent rubber crumb ratios. Some of rubberized concrete cylinders were added with silica fume. 2.1. Materials All the rubberized concrete column specimens were fabricated using the same mixture formula, except for some coarse aggregate (gravel) being replaced by recy- cled rubber crumb. The amount of fine aggregate (sand) and cement, together with the water-to-cement ratio, and admixture remained unchanged. Type 1 Portland cement was used in all the specimens. Gravel of 12 mm maximum size was used as coarse aggregate. River sand with 2 mm maximum size and 2.5% moisture con- tent was employed. Rubber crumb recycled from used tires (reRubber Inc.) partially replaced the coarse aggregate. The rubber crumb has a maximum size of 6 mm and was added to the concrete mixture at different volume replacement ratios from 5% to 20%. In developing rubberized silica fume concrete mixture, silica fume was used in partial replacement of cement. The silica fume (BASF Corp.) was fine particles approximately one hundredth the sizes of average cement particles, and have a large surface area of 20,000 m2/kg. It is expected that the silica fume coat the rubber crumb by free water in the concrete. This function, known as particle packing, re- fines the micro structure of concrete, creates a much denser pore structure, and compensates for the reduced strength due to the rubber crumb. The material prop- erties of the mixture proportions of the normal concrete (NC), rubberized concrete (RC) and rubberized concrete with silica fume (RCSF) are tabulated in Table 1. Samples of rubber crumb and silica fume are shown in Fig. 1. 2.2. Specimens Two types of specimens were prepared for the experiments, including 6 col- umns and 27 cylinders. The concrete column specimens representing a small-scale model of a column with a lumped mass, as shown in Fig. 2, were specially designed for free vibration and shaking table tests. The specimen consists of three parts: a lumped mass on top (12 cm wide, 12 cm long and 19 cm high), a column in middle (4 cm wide, 4 cm long and 50 cm high), and a foundation at bottom (14 cm wide, 14 cm long and 4 cm high). The foundation was wrapped with glass fiber reinforced polymer composites to improve the strength. The design of the columns aimed at simulating bridges and buildings with a natural frequency in the range of 3–6 Hz, which coincides with earthquakes’ usual dominant frequency range. Therefore, these structures are more vulnerable to seis- mic damage. A total of three NC and three RC column specimens were fabricated. For the rubberized specimens, 6 mm rubber crumb were mixed with aggregate, sand and cement to replace aggregate 15% in volume used in the normal concrete specimens. The normal concrete specimen weighed 10.69 kg, while the rubberized Rubber crumb (Re-Rubber, Inc.); and (b) silica fume (BASF Corp.). Fig. 2. Concrete column specimen. Fig. 3.

Shinozuka / Construction and Building Materials 42 (2013) 196–204 concrete weighed 9.75 kg. The first natural frequency of the rubberized concrete specimen was measured at 5.65 Hz (to be shown later), which was within the tar- geted range. While pouring the concrete mixture (based on the proportion ratios shown in Table 1) into the molds made with Styrofoam and glue, two No. 1, 1/8 in. (0.32 cm) diameter, steel reinforcement bars were placed in each of the column specimens. After the mixture settled firmly, the specimens cured for 7 days at room temperature as illustrated in Fig. 3. Twenty-seven standard cylinder specimens were fabricated according to the ASTM C39/C39M test method [11]. As shown in Fig. 4, each cylinder is 10.2 cm in diameter and 20.3 cm high. Besides the three normal concrete specimens, 12 rub- berized concrete specimens were fabricated at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% volume replacement ratios of the coarse aggregate. The 12 rubberized concrete with silica fume employed the same volume replacement ratio as the rubberized concrete, but added silica fume to replace 7% of the cement, as shown in Table 1. For each replacement ratio, three specimens were prepared in order to determine the aver- age compressive strength. All the cylindrical specimens were cured for 28 days at room temperature before they were set up for the tests. Some of the cylinders are shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 6. Free vibration test setup. 3. Free vibration tests In order to investigate the energy dissipation capability of the rubberized concrete in comparison with the normal concrete, free vibration tests were carried out on each of the six concrete column Time history Power spectrum distribution Fig. 7. Free vibration decay time history and PSD for the NC column #3. J. Xue, M. Shinozuka / Construction and Building Materials 42 (2013) 196–204 199 specimens, from which damping ratio was extracted. As shown in Fig. 6, an accelerometer was glued on the lumped mass of the col- umn top. A hammer was employed to apply an impact load to the mass, inducing free vibration, which was recorded by the acceler- ometer. In the experiments, the free vibration tests were repeated five times and their results averaged for each of the six specimens. Because of the energy dissipation capability of concrete, the free vibration eventually decays in magnitude towards zero. Free vibra- tion time histories recorded from the multiple tests on the NC col- umn #3 and the RC column #3 are plotted in Figs. 7 and 8. Meanwhile, power spectrum density (PSD) was computed from the first three tests and plotted in the same figures. Due to the dif- ference in the hammer impact intensities, the three PSD curves show different magnitudes, but the peak frequencies are almost identical. From the PSD plots, it was found that the rubberized con- crete column has a lower natural frequency (5.65 Hz in average), compared with the normal concrete column (7.85 Hz in average). This was due to the decrease in the modulus of elasticity of the rubberized concrete (to be discussed in Section 5). Damping ratios were evaluated from the recorded free vibration time histories. The higher the damping ratio, the more the energy dissipation capability of the column has. Modeling the damping as viscous damping, the free vibration follows an exponential decay. The damping ratio can then be computed from the logarithmic dec- rement as follows: f ¼ 1 2np � ln A0 An � � ð1Þ where A0 is an initial amplitude of the acceleration and An is the amplitude after n cycles of oscillation. Table 2 lists the damping ratios for the five tests of all column specimens. The average damping ratio based on the five tests for each of the column specimens is plotted in Fig. 9. The rubberized concrete columns exhibit higher damping ratios than the normal concrete columns. The average damping ratio increased from 4.75% of the normal concrete columns to 7.70% of the rubberized ones, representing a 62% increase. This implies that the rubberized concrete columns are more capable of dissipating kinetic energy. It is also noticed that the damping ratios of the three normal concrete columns are consistent, but the damping ratios of the rub- berized concrete columns vary from 5.9% to 8.3%. The scattered damping ratios are probably due to the heterogeneity in mixing the rubber crumb with concrete. As a matter of fact, it was found difficult to uniformly dispersing the rubber crumb into concrete mixture, when preparing the test specimens. This topic deserves more future research. 4. Seismic shaking table tests For the seismic shaking table tests,the base of the concrete col- umn specimen was fixed on a seismic shaking table using four sets of nuts and bolts. One accelerometer was glued on the shaking ta- ble and another on the lumped mass at the top of the concrete col- umn, as shown in Fig. 10. Each of the six concrete columns was tested by exciting the shaking table with a prescribed seismic ground motion and mea- Time history Power spectrum distribution (PSD) Fig. 8.

The ground motion was a modified 1940 El Centro earth- quake in which the original digitized data sampling rate of 100 Hz was taken as 200 Hz and, as a result, the frequency of the ground motion was doubled. The motivation for this modification was to shift the earthquake dominant frequency to a higher range closer to the natural frequencies of the specimens (5.65 Hz for the rubberized concrete and 7.85 Hz for the normal concrete), in order to effectively excite the specimens. At the same time, the ampli- tude of the ground motion was also scaled up to 1.0 g, in order to examine the effectiveness of the rubberized concrete during a damaging earthquake event. After the tests were completed, all the concrete columns were examined carefully. Cracks appeared in all 6 columns, but rela- tively fewer cracks were observed in the rubberized concrete col- umns. Fig. 11 shows major cracks marked in black on the NC column #1 after the seismic shaking table test. The seismic ground motion and response acceleration recorded by the accelerometers on the shaking table and the column mass are plotted as a function of time. Fig. 12 depicts the results from the NC column #3 and the RC column #3, in which the peak accel- erations were identified and marked in a circle. The peak response accelerations of all six columns are plotted in Fig. 13. For the same seismic ground motion with a peak acceleration of 1.0 g, the rubberized concrete columns demonstrated smaller re- sponse accelerations (1.4–1.5 g) than the normal concrete columns (1.7–1.9 g). On average, adding rubber crumb into concrete re- duced seismic response acceleration by approximately 27%. The smaller response acceleration implies a less seismic force applied to the rubberized concrete column, since the force is proportional to the acceleration. Fig. 10. Seismic shaking table test setup. Fig. 11. Damaged NC column #1 after shaking test. J. Xue, M. Shinozuka / Construction and Building Materials 42 (2013) 196–204 201 It is noted that the natural frequency 5.65 Hz of the rubberized column is different from that for the normal concrete column (7.85 Hz). The reduction in the natural frequency is consistent with the decrease in dynamic modulus of elasticity of the rubberized concrete. Therefore, the difference in their seismic responses are due to the differences in both the damping and natural frequencies. However, the rubberized concrete columns (e.g., 8.1% damping for the RC column #3) would have a lower response than the normal concrete columns (e.g., 4.8% damping for the NC column #3), even if the two specimens were compared at identical natural frequency (e.g., 5.65 Hz or 7.85 Hz). This is demonstrated in the response spectrum of the input ground motion in Fig. 14. 1 For interpretation of color in Fig. 17, the reader is referred to the web version o this article. 5. Compression tests Compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of the rubber- ized concrete with or without silica fume were tested on a hydrau- lic universal testing machine according to ASTM C469 [12]. To evaluate the modulus of elasticity, both longitudinal and trans- verse strain gauges were attached to the cylindrical specimens, as shown in Fig. 4. Load conditions and strains in both directions were measured every 0.1 s until the testing specimen failed. The experimental setup is shown in Fig. 15. The densities of each set of cylindrical specimens were mea- sured before the compressive strength tests. Owing to low specific gravity of rubber crumb, densities of rubberized concrete de- creased with the increase in the percentage of rubber crumb con- tent. The effect of rubber content on the densities of concrete is tabulated in Table 1, where the average density decreased from 2475 kg/m3 of the normal concrete set to 2374, 2273, 2171, and 2069 kg/m3 at the rubber replacement ratio of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% respectively. For the rubberized silica fume concrete specimens, only 7% of cement was replaced by the silica fume, and there was little change in densities for the respective rubber crumb content set. A test result is based on the average of three identical cylindri- cal specimens tested in each specimen set. For each specimen, a stress and strain diagram was plotted. A typical stress–strain dia- gram for the rubberized concrete specimen with 15% replacement ratio is depicted in Fig. 16. Summarizing results from all the spec- imen sets, Fig. 17 shows the compressive strengths at different rubber replacement ratios with 0% representing the normal con- crete specimen set. The red1 and blue line denotes the results of the rubberized concrete with and without silica fume. The com- pressive strength of the rubberized concrete decreased, as the amount of the rubber crumb increased. The average compressive strength of the normal concrete cylinders at 28 days was 38.13 MPa. The average strength of the rubberized concrete cylin- ders at the replacement ratios of 10% and 20% decreased to 27.13 MPa and 20.33 MPa, representing 28.84% and 46.68% reduc- tion respectively. The decrease in the compressive strength was more profound in the specimens with 5–15% replacement ratios. From the results of the rubberized silica fume concrete specimens, it is observed that at all the replacement ratios, adding silica fume increased the compressive strength consistently by 3–7 MPa. The strength of the rubberized silica fume concrete specimens at the replacement ratios of 10% and 20% decreased to 32.88 MPa and 23.35 MPa, representing 13.77% and 38.76% reduction from the normal concrete respectively. The moduli of elasticity were tested and calculated based on the standards in ASTM C469 [12]. Fig. 18 plots the test results for the normal concrete and the rubberized concrete cylinders with and without silica fume. Compared to the average modulus of elasticity of 33.20 GPa for the normal concrete cylinders, the modulus for the rubberized concrete cylinders was 25.23 GPa at 10%, and 19.97 GPa at 20% replacement ratio, while the modulus for the rubberized sil- ica fume concrete cylinders was 29.45 GPa at 10% and 21.47 GPa at 20% of the replacement ratio. In both rubberized cases with and without silica fume, the modulus is lower than that of the normal concrete, but the silica fume increased the modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, the decrease in the modulus of elasticity of the rub- berized concrete was consistent with the reduction in the natural frequency of rubberized concrete columns as observed in the free vibration tests. f (a) (b) Fig. 12.

Shinozuka / Construction and Building Materials 42 (2013) 196–204 The decreasein the compressive strength is attributed to a number of possible reasons: (1) replacement of coarse aggregate with rubber crumb resulted in quantity reduction of the high- strength load-carrying element of concrete; and (2) the bonding between the rubber and cement paste was not as good as the bond- ing between the coarse aggregate and cement paste. This is because rubber crumb is a weak hydrophilic aggregate. According to Sanfilippo et al. [13], deposition of nano-particles in the surface of rubber crumb to form nano-porous thin film could enhance the adhesion between cement paste and aggregates. Use of silica fume Fig. 15. Compressive strength test setup. Fig. 16. Stress–strain diagram for rubberized concrete cylinder with 15% replacement ratio. Fig. 17. Compressive strength for rubberized concrete with or without silica fume. Fig. 18. Modulus of elasticity for rubberized concrete with or without silica fume. J. Xue, M. Shinozuka / Construction and Building Materials 42 (2013) 196–204 203 can improve the hydration and crystallization around the rubber crumb. The sub-micron structure of silica fume can act as seeding for the nucleation of calcium silica hydrate to homogenize the mi- cro structure in the vicinity of the rubber particles. As a result, the silica fumes can improve the bonding between rubber crumb and concrete paste. In this study, a better bonding between the rubber crumbs and cement paste was reflected at the improvement of the compressive strength of the rubberized silica fume concrete. This study clearly suggests the need for future research on the bonding mechanism in order to further improve the bonding and enhance the strength of rubberized concrete so that it can be successfully used as structural material. 6. Conclusions This study focused on experimental investigation of dynamic as well as static performance of rubberized concrete specimens, in which recycled rubber tire crumb was used to partially replace coarse aggregate. Free vibration and seismic shaking table tests were conducted on reinforced concrete column specimens with a 15% rubber replacement ratio. Separated tests on the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were performed on standard cylindrical specimens with various rubber replacement ratios from 5% to 20%. The following conclusions can be drawn from this study: 1. Based on the free vibration tests, the average damping ratio of the rubberized concrete columns was 7.70%. By contrast, the average damping ratio of the normal concrete columns is only 4.75%. Adding rubber crumb into concrete increases the damping ratio by 62%. 2. The results of the seismic shaking table tests showed that the peak response acceleration of the rubberized concrete columns was, on average, 27% less than those of the normal concrete columns. This demonstrates that adding rubber crumb can reduce the seismic force on concrete structures due to the increased damping. 3. The rubberized concrete suffered reduction in the compres- sive strength. The rubberized concrete with 20% replace- ment ratio dropped as high as 46.68% in the compressive strength. This was due to the partial replacement of the high-strength aggregates with the rubber crumb and the poor bonding between the rubber and the cement. 4. Adding silica fume to the cement paste can improve bond- ing between rubber crumb and cement paste, which was reflected in the increase in compressive strength of the rub- berized silica fume concrete cylinders. 5. The addition of rubber crumb decreased the modulus of elasticity of concrete. This was consistent with the natural frequency reduction observed from the free vibration tests of the rubberized concrete columns. While rubberized concrete itself is not new, this study repre- sents the first investigation on energy dissipation capability and 204 J. Xue, M. Shinozuka / Construction and Building Materials 42 (2013) 196–204 dynamic (including seismic) behaviors of rubberized concrete for its potential application as structural material. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of using rubberized concrete for improving seismic performance by taking advantage of its enhanced energy dissipation capability. Silica fume can partially compensate for the loss of compressive strength in the rubberized concrete. Future research is needed to study the rubber-concrete bonding mechanism in order to further improve the bonding and increase the strength of the rubberized concrete. If successfully developed, the rubberized concrete will open up new areas of applications as load-bearing structural material. For example, such material can be used to build new or retrofit existing columns of bridges and buildings to address their vulnerability to seismic damage.
