Therefore, utilization of crumb rubber in Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) has attracted attention in the construction industry. During elevated temperature, the crumb rubber (CR) melts and creates escape routes for build-up pressure due to moisture in the matrix. This research reports the influence of crumb rubber on the residual compressive strength of ECC after exposure to elevated temperature up to 1000°C. The CR-ECC mixes were developed for utilizing crumb rubber in the percentage of 0, 1, 3 and 5. The CR-ECC fresh mixtures were cast into 50 mm cube moulds and cured for 28 days. The samples were preconditioned and exposed to elevated temperature (23°C, 100°C, 200°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, 800°C, 900°C, 1000°C) for 1-hour duration. Afterward, the samples were evaluated for residual compressive strength. However, there was no explosive spalling recorded in all the specimens used for the experiment. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. ER -
