Behaviour of Rubberized Concrete Short Columns Confined by Aramid Fibre Reinforced Polymer Jackets Subjected to Compression by Gabriel Oprişan, Ioana-Sorina Enţuc, Petru Mihai, Ionuţ-Ovidiu Toma, Nicolae Ţăranu, Mihai Budescu, Vlad Munteanu

“…Additionally, the possibilities to substitute fine aggregate with crumb rubber granules, obtained from discarded worn tires, in structural concrete is also assessed. Because replacing traditional concrete aggregates by rubber particles leads to a significant loss in compressive strength, the authors highlight the use of AFRP confinement to partially or fully restore the compressive strength by applying a number of 1, 2, and 3 layers. …”
