Review of dynamic behaviour of rubberised concrete at material and member levels

The reuse of waste tyres satisfies the requirements of sustainable development. Many researchers mix concrete with recycled rubber particles obtained from waste tyres to produce rubberised concrete, which exhibits improved mechanical properties. Although numerous studies have been performed on the mechanical behaviour of rubberised concrete, most of these were focused on its static behaviour, which is the shortage for rubberised concrete research. The achievement of dynamic behaviour of rubberised concrete is limited. It has been demonstrated that the addition of rubber particles can improve the fatigue performance, seismic performance, impact resistance, and explosion resistance of concrete. Therefore, it is necessary to summarise the dynamic behaviour of rubberised concrete materials and members to further civil engineering practitioners' understanding of rubberised concrete and thereby, promote its application and development. This paper systematically summarises the mechanical properties of rubberised concrete under fatigue loads, earthquake loads, impact loads, and explosion loads from the material level to the member level. It also proposes a feasible direction for future research on rubberised concrete under dynamic loads.
