Solid waste disposal is a major environmental issue on cities around the world. Rubber from scrap tires is one of the most recent waste materials investigated for its potential use in the construction field[1]. Like plastic wastes, rubber tire is non-degradable in nature at ambient conditions. This has generated massive stockpiles of used tire and is creating huge environmental problems including fire hazards. Recently many countries have forbidden land filling of scrap tires and therefore recycling of this material in the production of other products has immense importance[2].

Recycling is generally a more sustainable alternativeto disposal and recycling alternatives have been introduced[3]. The reuse of rubber tires remaining from the retreading process can minimize environmental impacts and help the natural resources[4]. Rubber tire can be used in a variety of civil and non-civil engineering applications such as in road construction, in geotechnical works, as a fuel in cement kilns and incineration for production of electricity or as an aggregate in cement-based products[5]. Production of rubber-filled concrete composition is a possible area for a further expansion of usage of ground rubber tire (GRT).

The advantages of using GRT in the cement-concrete structure are an increased crack, freeze-thaw and impact resistance, shock wave absorption, reduced heat conductivity, and increased resistance to acid rain. However, an addition of rubber particles to concrete has shown to reduce the compressive and flexural strengths. Concerning the effect of the size of rubber particles on the compressive strength, the results are contradictory[6]. In cement paste and concrete it was observed that the specimens with tire rubber have less water absorption than the reference specimens. That may occur because the rubber does not absorb water [7]. 2. Aims

This work investigates the influence of crumb rubber, obtained from used automobile tires, on the water absorption and compressive strength of mortar. Before and after the addition of styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) emulsion.

3. Experimental Procedure

Tables (1) show the chemical composition and physical properties of the cement used throughout this work. It is matched by the Iraqi Reference Guide indicative number (198) and the Ministry of Planning / Central Agency for Standardization and Quality Control Manual 198/1990.[8]

To achieve a homogenous distribution of the materials ,Sand, cement and rubber were

placed in the pan at the same time and dry-mixed by hands for 2-3 min. The materials were mixed with water by electrical mixer (Automix, Controls Co. Italy) for additional 4 min according to (ASTM C305)[9],as in Fig.(2). In the case of SBR addition , both water and SBR

were mixed to form the Specimens .After complete mixing, the crumb Rubber-Mortar was poured in molds ,which were coated with mineral oil to prevent adhesion with crumb Rubber-Mortar. Crumb Rubber-Mortar casting was accomplished in three layers. Each layer was compacted by using a vibrating device (Viatest Co. German) for 1-1.5 minutes until no air bubbles emerged to the surface of the casting

The tests were carried out with cubic specimens after 28 days which continuously cured at 20ºC in water bath as in Fig. (3).

specimen from the oven, allow it to cool in dry air to a temperature of 20 to 25°C and determine the Oven-Dry Mass (A). And then Immerse the specimen in water at approximately 21°C for not less than 48 h and Surface-dry the specimen by removing surface moisture with a towel, and determine the surface-dry mass after immersion (B) according to equation(1).

The compression test was determined according to American Society for Testing and Materials. ASTM C109/C109M-05 compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars (Using 2-in. or [50-mm] cube Specimens)[11]. The specimens are loaded uniaxially by the universal compressive machine (Sercomp, Controls Co. Italy) of 250 kN capacity at loading rate of 2.5 kN per second. as shown in Fig. (4).

5. Results and Discussion

5.1. Water Absorption Test The water absorption of crumb Rubber-Mortar specimens were measured, as shown in

Figs. (5)and (6). The results show that the water absorption decrease with increase in rubber percentage and fine crumb Rubber-Mortar have lower water absorption than coarse crumb Rubber-Mortar. The water absorption increase with increase in density. The observed reduction in the water absorption was due to the lower porosity of the material, which occurred as the replacement of crumb rubber by sand.

Fig.9. Effect of different rubber percentage on the compressive strength of crumb Rubber

Fig.10. Effect of density difference on the compressive strength of crumb Rubber

The compressive strength of crumb Rubber-Mortar specimens with addition (SBR) latex were measured, as shown in Figs. (11)and (12). An increase in compressive strength was also noted after the addition of (SBR latex) with percentage and density change.

A reduction in water absorption due to the fact that tire crumb does not absorb only the hydrated parts of the matrix retain water. The decrease in absorption when SBR latex are added lead to lowering the void content causing less absorption of water during hydration as in Fig. (13). High results of compressive strength werelatex) compared with crumb Rubberstrength, is attributed to the lack of bond between rubber particles and the cement matrix.

6. Conclusions

The following main conclusion1- An increase in crumb rubber percentage cause decrease in compressive strength and

water absorption. 2- As the density increases the compressive strength and water absorption increased

3- After the addition of SBR to the crumb Rubber-Mortar the compressive strength and water absorption are improved.

4- In general fine crumb Rubber-Mortar have better properties than coarse crumb Rubber-Mortar.
