Waste Tire Particles and Gamma Radiation as Modifiers of the Mechanical Properties of Concrete

In polymer reinforced concrete, the Young’s modulus of both polymers and cement matrix is responsible for the detrimental properties of the concrete, including compressive and tensile strength, as well as stiffness. A novel methodology for solving such problems is based on use of ionizing radiation,...
