Resumen:
in this work, cement concrete specimens were produced with cement, water, rock crushed and sand; this last was partially substituted by particles of waste tire rubber. Then the compression properties of the specimens were evaluated following the experimental parameters: a) gamma irradiation dose (200, 250 and 300 kGy), b) particle size of tire rubber (0.85 and 2.8 mm), and c) particulate concentration of tire rubber (1, 3 and 5 wt. %). In addition, the mechanical compression results were related with the changes on the physicochemical properties of the irradiated tire particles, which were analyzed by FT-IR, Raman, UV–vis, SEM, XRD, TGA and DSC.
Descripción:
En este trabajo se produjo concreto añadiendo hule de llantas de desecho, posteriormente se irradió con rayos gamma, para finalmente evaluar sus propiedades mecánicas. Los efectos de la radiación en el hule de llanta se evaluaron con diferentes técnicas analíticas.
