| Abstract |
Waste tires pose significant environmental, health, and fire risks. Creative waste management solutions, including reuse, recycle and repurpose, are necessary to mitigate those impacts while enriching their valorisation. An innovative solution is the upcycling of recycled steel fibre (RSF) from waste tires to enhance strength and durability of concrete. This study thus experimentally examines dynamic and mechanical behaviours of highstrength concrete with varying proportions of RSF, from 0% to 1.2% by volume. The results reveal that highstrength concrete with 1.2% RSF exhibits the best improvement in strengths. In addition, the damping ratio, dynamic modulus of RSF concrete and SEM images confirm valorisation potentials of waste fibres. Via a robust critical lifecycle analysis, the new insights form a new sustainable design and carbon credited application framework for RSF. Our results portray that innovative recycling practices for end-of-life tires yield substantial environmental benefits, including a significant carbon emission reduction. |
