Background/ Objectives and Goals
During the last 30 years, extensive researches were performed an attempt to reuse the waste tires by grinding them into granulated samples and use
as aggregates in cementitious materials. The innovative purpose of this work is to investigate the feasibility of applying tire rubber-modified cement
compounds to 3D additive construction technologies. The influence of crumb rubber on the rheological, durability and structural performance of

Generally, in most countries, there are no strict regulations regarding tire disposal. Hence, tires end up thrown in seas and lands as well as being burnt, harming the living beings, and are therefore considered a very dangerous pollution source for the environment. Over the past few years, several researchers have worked on incorporating shredded/powdered rubber tires into cement-based material. This strategy shows a dual functionality: Economic–environmental benefits and technological functionalization of the building material.
