Rubbercrete exhibits numerous benefits compared to conventional concrete such as lower in density, increased ductility, enhanced plastic capacity, higher toughness, higher impact resistance, better chloride penetration, lower thermal conductivity, higher noise reduction factor and better electrical resistivity. It has also been known to have better energy dissipation, durability and damping ratio. However, the main drawbacks of rubbercrctc are decreasing in strengths and Young's modulus. Therefore, to improve strengths of the rubbercrete, the crumb rubber has been pre-coated with nano-silica. Results have revealed that nano-silica modified rubbercrete can be produced with high strengths due to the densification of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and refining pore system of the rubbercrete. date: 2016 publisher: Canadian Society for Civil Engineering official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85030677738&partnerID=40&md5=7358a1c8ed9042f1652aaebb155bdd88 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings, Annual Conference - Canadian Society for Civil Engineering volume: 2 pagerange: 1441-1446 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781510843592 citation: Mohammed, B.S. and Nuruddin, M.F. and Shafiq, N.
