In order to solve fatigue and flexural strength related problems in RCC, incorporating crumb rubber (CR) will improve the ductility, bending deformation and reduces the brittle nature of RCC due to deformation and elastic properties of rubber, but CR will affects the mechanical, durability properties of concrete negatively, this leads to the use of Nano Silica (NS) in RCC to remedy the negative effect of CR by improving the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between CR and cement paste, densifying the concrete matrix due to NS filler ability, improving strength due to NS high pozzolanic reactivity. Thus, producing a new material for use as RCC pavement of desirable strength, high fatigue performance, higher energy absorption, with lower risk of distress, which is more economical and having a longer service life. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London. date: 2016 publisher: CRC Press/Balkema official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85009772351&doi=10.1201%2fb21942-98&partnerID=40&md5=5b27791090e5010ef11acb75bb905a3a id_number: 10.1201/b21942-98 full_text_status: none publication: Engineering Challenges for Sustainable Future - Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Civil, offshore and Environmental Engineering, ICCOEE 2016 pagerange: 483-488 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781138029781 citation: Adamu, M. and Mohammed, B.S. and Shafiq, N.
