Title: IMPLEMENTING END—OF—LIFE TIRESCOMPONENTS IN CONSTRUCTION SECTOR: POTENTIAL CHALLENGES.
Authors: KISS, Imre1, BACIU, Andrei–Mihai2
Source: Annals of the Faculty of Engineering Hunedoara - International Journal of Engineering. May2026, Vol. 24 Issue 2, p107-118. 12p.
Subjects: Waste tires, Cement composites, Vibration isolation, Structural design, Waste management, Construction industry, Mechanical behavior of materials
Abstract: The integration of End—of—Life Tires (ELT) into cementitious composites represents a dual—purpose strategy for the construction industry: it addresses a critical global waste management crisis while introducing specialized mechanical properties to building materials. This report explores the transformation of tires from complex, multi—material waste—consisting of vulcanized rubber, high—tensile steel, and synthetic textiles—into functional construction aggregates. While the implementation of rubberized concrete offers significant benefits—including enhanced energy dissipation, vibration damping, and improved freeze—thaw durability—its widespread adoption is hindered by several fundamental challenges, described and discussed here. Ultimately, the successful implementation of tire components in cementitious composites depends on balancing these mechanical trade—offs. By focusing on non—structural or seismic—resistant applications where ductility and impact resistance are prioritized over pure load—bearing capacity, the construction sector can effectively sequester millions of tires annually, turning a persistent pollutant into a high—performance engineering asset.
