Description
Ali Serdar Ecemis and co-authors add waste tire fibres to concrete beams and test how they bend, in a study from 2025. Old tires are a vast waste stream. Ground tire bits can stand in for some stone in concrete, but they tend to sap strength.
Beams were cast with 5, 10, or 15 percent waste fibre and paired with glass-fibre shells. At the top dose, crush strength fell by near a third and bend strength by near half. Beams with high doses bore far less load. Yet bends grew more ductile, so breaks came with more give and less snap. At 5 percent, strength loss was mild and ductility gain was real, the best trade of the set. Cell-scale scans backed the story.
