Abstract
This article presents the results of a study dealing with the use of a combination of recycled rubber from waste tires as a 100% replacement of aggregate and waste sludge water from a concrete plant as a partial replacement of mixing water in the production of cement composites. The aggregate was replaced with recycled rubber material in two ratios. The first ratio was 50/50 and the other one was a 40/60 ratio of fraction 0/1 mm and fraction 1/3 mm. The mixing water was replaced with waste sludge water from a concrete plant in the amounts of 25% and 50%. The designed cement composite formulas were subjected to the test of their physical and mechanical characteristics in order to determine the properties when using a combination of recycled rubber and waste sludge water from a concrete plant. The tested properties include: consistency of the grain curve, mixing water properties, consistency of cement mortar, strength characteristics (tensile flexural strength and compressive strength). The study presents the results that are fundamentally different from the comparative samples and their use in the building industry but, at the same time, they also open up new possibilities of their use as building material.
