It is well known that the concrete industry has a strong environmental impact on our planet. First, there are the huge volumes of material needed to produce the billions of tons of concrete worldwide each year. Then there are the CO2 emissions caused during the production of Portland cement. Together with the energy requirements, water and aggregates consumption and generation of construction and demolition waste, appears evident as the concrete is not particularly environmentally friendly or compatible with the demands of sustainable development. In this context large number of papers focused on new concrete materials that would be more suitable with environmental point of view. Among these materials, one of the most discussed is rubberized concrete. Rubberized concrete is obtained by incorporating rubber particles, obtained from recycled end of life tyres, as a replacement for mineral aggregates.
