| Abstract [eng] |
As the requirements to reduce construction waste and increase the use of recycled materials in the construction sector increase, ways to integrate secondary raw materials into construction structures are increasingly sought. One of the promising directions is the mixing of recycled tire rubber waste into concrete. These mixtures are becoming relevant in the design of structures, especially column systems, where the strength of the structure is important. This master's thesis examines the suitability of steel columns filled with concrete with rubber additives for their application in building load-bearing systems and evaluating their mechanical properties. The scope of the project analyzes the influence of rubber on concrete, changes in the behavior of steel profiles, and changes in the bearing capacity and plasticity of columns by comparing different concrete mixtures (NC, RuC5, RuC15). Analytical calculations performed according to EC4 methodologies and numerical analysis using finite element software allow us to evaluate the behavior of columns, the resistance of different profiles (circular and square) and the effect of rubber additives on the performance of the structure. |
