Approximately 1 billion waste tires are produced annually worldwide. This number is increasing from year to year and only 2 % of waste tires are used as recycled material in the construction sector. The inclusion of waste rubber in the construction industry is an environmentally friendly solution for the disposal of waste rubber which promotes sustainable construction and encourages the concept of sustainable production. With detailed literature overview, the advantages of using self-compacting concrete with recycled rubber over ordinary concrete with recycled rubber were identified and conclusion was made that existing scientific research in the majority includes investigation of the mechanical properties of concrete with rubber. Investigations of thermal properties, durability properties and structural elements made of self-compacting concrete with recycled rubber are quite unrepresented in the available literature, which represents the potential for future experimental research. The main goal of this research was to determine the influence of recycled rubber on mechanical, thermal and durability properties, fracture mechanics parameters and microstructure of self-compacting concrete and to prove the possibility of using recycled rubber in load-bearing reinforced concrete beams with satisfactory mechanical resistance and stability and improved durability properties. To achieve the set goal, several steps have been taken. In the first step, preliminary experimental testing of self-compacting concrete with recycled rubber was performed to define the optimal composition of the self-compacting concrete mixture, the replaced material, the proportion of recycled rubber in the self-compacting concrete mixture and the need for pre-treatment of recycled rubber. In the next step, in order to select the optimal mixtures, 21 mixtures of self-compacting concrete with different percentages of recycled rubber as partial replacement of fine aggregate and silica fume as a partial replacement of cement were made and investigation of the self-compacting concrete fresh and hardened state properties were performed. Additional experimental investigation of the fracture behavior of self-compacting concrete with recycled rubber was performed by observing the basic parameters of fracture mechanics. In final two steps, experimental tests of selected optimal mixtures of self-compacting concrete with recycled rubber at the level of material and at the level of structural elements were then performed. At the level of material, the durability and thermal properties of optimal self-compacting rubberized concrete mixtures were examined. Additionally, bond between cement paste and natural aggregate, i.e. recycled rubber was examined with scanning electron microscope. At the level of structural elements, 12 beams were tested, three from each selected concrete mix. Based on experimental results, it has been proven that the percentages of recycled rubber of 10 % and 15 % can be used in load-bearing reinforced concrete elements without additional restrictions related to durability, thermal and fracture properties. Furthermore, it has been proven that recycled rubber contributes to improving the durability properties of reinforced concrete beams and that the load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete beams with recycled rubber is similar or equal to the load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete beams without recycled rubber.
