Synthesis of rubberized alkali-activated concrete: experimental and numerical evaluation

This paper evaluated feasibility of using the waste rubber tire crumbs (WRTCs) as partial replacement for the natural aggregates in production of alkali-activated rubberized concrete (AARC). Numerical model calculations using the neural network technique were performed to evaluate the overall perfor...
