Introduction

In Algeria, the quality control bodies for structural concrete require that the aggregates are made from alluvial or quarry sands and crushed gravel. However, some projects, especially those carried out in the south, are far from the deposits exploited for the crushing of aggregates (more than 600 km). The energy expended for crushing and the budget reserved for the transport of crushed aggregates considerably amplifies the cost of producing one m3 of concrete [1].

Southern Algeria has significant renewable natural reserves of dune sand, characterized by a fine grain size but with a chemical and mineralogical composition rich in silicon [2]. This paradox has prompted several scientists to search for a formulation devoid of coarse aggregate and therefore composed essentially of cement, filler, micro filler, sand and water [3–7].

Several studies have been carried out on mortars in order to know their formulations and to determine their characteristics and their rheological behavior. These studies have been able to prove that dune sand-based mortar could advantageously replace ordinary mortar in certain sectors of building and public works [8].

Waste from different sources is the cause of various environmental problems related to its storage and its increasing quantities. In addition, traditional building materials of natural origin are faced with exhaustion over time. It is therefore important to think about the development of composite materials with artificial aggregates, or those that are recycled from industrial and agricultural waste. This type of material meets economic and environmental requirements [9]. Indeed, the operation of industrial vehicles of different categories generates significant quantities of tire waste, which does not benefit from any recovery action [10–11]. In Algeria, strong pressure on the environment has been recorded, especially with regard to waste from means of transport, specifically tires [12]. All over the world, used tire waste represents a potential source of major environmental and economic problems [10]. According to recent statistics, the annual world production of waste tires is estimated at 17 million tonnes. The latest global initiatives to reduce air pollution require the use of clean methods of waste disposal in order to protect the environment from its harmful effects [10].

The construction sector has been using waste and by-products for several years as secondary raw material for the development of new types of materials that have specific or improved properties compared to conventional materials. This alternative makes it possible on the one hand to respond to the concern for saving natural resources in aggregates, and on the other hand to alleviate economic and environmental constraints through the reuse and recycling of waste [13].

The objective of this work is the recovery of sand from dunes (DS) and the use of waste powdered tires in order to exploit them for the manufacture of mortar suitable for use in the construction sector. In our study we try to develop and characterize a rubberized sand mortar. This development is made by the addition of rubber content (RC). The formulation of the mixtures adopted is based on the mass substitution of dune sand by different percentages of rubber (10 %, 20 %, and 30 %). The quantity of cement is fixed at 450 g (based on the composition of a normalized mortar).

Experimental details

The materials used in this work for the preparation of the mixtures and the making of the various mortars are of local origin (Figure 1); their chemical compositions and their physical properties are shown in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively.

A control sand mortar, and three mortars composed of cement and by different percentages of (RC) (10 %, 20 % and 30 %) and dune sand, respectively (Figure 2 shows the mixes at different substitutions and Figure 3 shows the result for each mix) for each composition (Table 3) made the object of this comparative study. The tests concerned the determination of some physico-mechanical properties of the mortars (porosity, absorption, densities, compressive strength, tensile strength). All the tests were carried out on prismatic specimens (4 cm x 4 cm x 16 cm).

The compression (Figure 4) and tensile tests (by three-point bending) (Figure 5) were carried out by a universal digital CONTROLS brand mechanical resistance testing machine with a capacity of 50 kN, at controlled load and displacement. The measurements of the physical properties were carried out by a hydrostatic balance precision of 0.01 g.

The various results are grouped together in the table and illustrated by the figures below.

Effect of rubber on the physical properties of the mortar

With each increase in the content of substituted rubber in the sand, the grain size curve of the mixture tends to spread out (Figure 6).

Figure 6:

Particle size curves of the mixtures as a function of the rubber content.

The fineness modulus of the mixtures increases with the increase in the content of rubber (Figure 7).

Figure 7:

Evolution of fineness modulus as a function of rubber content.

For a mixture of DS substituted with 10 % rubber, the fineness modulus increased by 5 % compared to the fineness modulus of the control DS, but despite the substitution of the DS at 20 %, a slight increase of 7 % was noticed of the fineness modulus relative to the fineness modulus of the control DS. On the other hand the increase was very remarkable (20 %) for the mixture of DS substituted for 30 % of the rubber.

It can also be seen that despite these increases in fineness moduli, our mixtures still remain within the fine sands interval. But what caught our attention that the finesse modulus jumped between the two ends of this interval.

All DS-based mortars with RC substitutions of 10 %, 20 %, and 30 % experience decreases in their densities either wet or dry (Figure 8) compared to the control mortar, of the order of 2.86 %, 5.71 %, and 6.86 % and 0.64 %, 3.85 %, and 5.13 % respectively. This is particularly useful in rehabilitation works and the lightening of structures. These decreases are less important than those found by Benazzouk et al. [13] and by Boukour [14].

Figure 8:

Evolution of density as a function of rubber content.

According to Figure 8, the wet density of the mortar varies according to the rubber content, according to the expression: Wd = 0.0075 (% RC)2 - 0.0785 (% RC) + 1.8225 with a correlation coefficient: R2= 0.9948. And the dry density of the mortar varies according to the rubber content according to the expression: Dd = -0.0025 (% RC)2 - 0.0165 (% RC) + 1.5825 with a correlation coefficient: R2 = 0.9453.

It is worth noting that reductions in water absorption during total immersion are approximately 18.92 % to 19.25 % for mortar based on dune sand and with the substitution of rubber content of 10 % and 20 % respectively, as shown in (Figure 9). These results are in accordance with the findings of various authors for the incorporation of rubber aggregates in cement matrix and with zero absorption of rubbers [15–16] cited by Boukour [14]. This is surely due to a probable decrease in the porosity of these mortars. On the other hand, there was a return in the decrease in absorption of the order of 7.18 % for the DS-based mortar and with 30 % of RC substitutions, different from the result found by Boukour [14] for this percentage of substitution. Our result could be related to the pores generated by this amount of RCs due to their non-polar natures and their smaller size compared to RAs (rubber aggregates), which tend to trap surface air. The air trapped in this mortar makes the mortar more porous, therefore more permeable and more water-absorbent.

Figure 9:

Evolution of absorption by total immersion depending on the rubber content

The decrease in porosity (Figure 10) reached 19.35 % and 22.11 % respectively for sand mortars with 10 % and 20 % substitutions of DS by RC, which confirms the findings noted above concerning the possibility of a decrease in DS porosity, especially at 10% of substitutions of DS by RC. This is contrary to the results of other authors, which indicate that the occluded air entrained by the RA during mixing is a factor favouring the increase in porosity [17–19]. At 30 % substitutions of DS by RC, the return is also noticed (5.42 %). Note that other authors [20–21] suggest that the hydrophobic nature of RA is responsible for trapping air bubbles, which contributes to the lightening of RA composites.

Figure 10:

Evolution of porosity accessible to water as a function of rubber content.
Effect of rubber on the mechanical properties of the mortar

It can be seen from Figure 11 that the substitution of dune sand by rubber content reduces resistance, while the tensile strength decreases slightly, usually on the order of 9.51 % to 13.89 % with substitution of 10 % and 20 % respectively; reduction in tensile strength is very significant at 30 % substitution (38.57 %). On the other hand, for compressive strength the decreases are more than 30 % for the three substitutions (10 %, 20 %, and 30 %) on the order of 30.44 %, 34.63 %, and 47.15 %, respectively. This loss of mechanical performance, according to Guelmine et al. [10] is mainly linked to the poor adhesion of the rubber particles to the cement matrix. Most remarkable are the decreases in both mechanical resistances at 30 % substitution, which can lead us to limit the percentage of substitution to less than 30 %. But despite that, this loss remains less than that found by Boukour [14].

Figure 11:

Evolution of the compressive and tensile strength as a function of the rubber content.
Effect of rubber on the relationship between the mechanical properties of the mortar

The relationships between strengths (compressive and tensile) can be influenced by the substitution of DS by RC. It has been observed through the results of these properties that they can present different values. In this part of the work, we explore the effect of rubber on these relationships, between compressive strengths and tensile strengths (Figure 12). These relations between properties are also situated in relation to those given by the regulations Eurocode EC2 [22] and the Unified Document DTU [23].

Figure 12:

Relations between compressive strengths and tensile strengths.
Relations between compressive strengths and tensile strengths

The preceding curves (Figure 12) show the Ts-Cs (Tensile strength and Compressive strength) relationships for rubberized sand mortars at 0 %, 10 %, 20 %, 30 % of RC. We notice that the difference between the regulatory curves and the experimental curve of the mortars studied is also important despite the reverse direction of the evolution (decrease depending on the rubber content) with a very acceptable regression quality Rt-Rc (R2 = 0.9988).

The Ts-Cs relation of rubberized sand mortars at 0 %, 10 %, 20 %, 30 % of RC always gives overestimated values, but of course not at the same pace as those of the regulations (polygonal relation) these values are influenced by the presence of dune sand in the compositions of the mortars.

It can be seen that the Ts-Cs relationships are influenced by the percentage of dune sand substitution by RC.
Conclusions

The correction of the grain size of the DS is possible by the RC. This is clearly verified by the fineness modulus, which marked a jump between the two ends of the fine aggregate interval. This improvement is noticed especially at 30 % substitution.

Rehabilitation work and the lightening of structures are based mainly on the values of the densities of the construction materials. The decrease in the values of the latter is noticed for the three substitutions (10 %, 20 %, and 30 %) but is less important than those found by several other authors. They follow polygonal functions of order 2 with correlation coefficients very close to 1.

A positive effect for absorption by total immersion is found up to 20 % substitution of DS by RC. On the other hand, at 30 % of substitutions the absorption increased.

The effect of the substitution of DS by RC on the porosity of the mortars is the same as that of the absorption, with different values (decrease in up to 20 % of substitution and an increase in up to 30 % of substitution).

The percentage of substitution of DS by RC can be limited to less than 30% because of its detrimental effect on the two mechanical resistances.

The relation which connects the two mechanical resistances (traction and compression) is influenced by the percentage of substitution of dune sand by RC. It presents estimates greater than those of the normative documents, by following a polygonal function of the order 2 with a correlation coefficient very close to 1.
