Scrap tires continue to be a nuisance to the environment and this book proposes one way of recycling them as a lightweight aggregate which can substitute for mineral aggregates in concrete. Aggregates derived from scrap tires are often referred to as Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA). This book covers the design of concrete with TDA, its properties both at macro and microscopic scale and how it can be modeled based on finite element method using ABAQUS software. The concrete behavior after exposure to high temperature is also examined. The book provides a clear understanding on the quantity and...
