Laboratory Tests Of Waste Mixtures Consisting Recycled Tyre Rubber and Coal-Mining Wastes

Abstract

The paper presents the results of research on the application of recycled tyre rubber, in the form of rubber dust, in mixtures bound with a hydraulic binder, to improve the physical and mechanical parameters of unburnt coalmining slates. In particular, the parameters related to resistance to water and susceptibility of bound mixtures. The research was carried out on mixtures containing unburnt coal-mining slate, rubber dust, fly ash and cement, as well as on reference mixtures with no rubber dust in their composition. The observations were aimed at checking how the varied content of rubber dust affects the physical and mechanical parameters of the samples.
