Case study on High-Performance-Fiber-Reinforced-Concrete manufactures made with recycled steel fibers from End-Life-Tires

Abstract To minimize the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere, a variety of revisions regarding the construction industry must be done. One possible approach to modify the sustainability of con-struction industry manufactures is to substitute, partially or completely, the traditional compo-nents with recycled materials. Considering tremendous amount of recycled steel fibers (RSF) from end-of-life tires (ELTs) disposed annually around the world and their negative environmental impact, the recovery of their constituent materials and their reuse as raw materials in different technologies, is certainly an excellent way for a sustainable development. This paper presents a case study of High-Performance-Fiber-Reinforced-Concrete (HPFRC) as a replacement of current industrial component material. As a result, by applying a linear relation we tried to evaluate the suitable volume of fiber to be used in such manufactures.
