state that the modulus of elasticity of self-compacting concrete increases with
rubber (4-10 mm) waste content (Table 13.5). These authors also mentioned
the risk of severe segregation with a high concentration of rubber waste at
the top of the specimens which implies the needed for a proper combination
between a viscosity agent and air-entraining agent to avoid segregation.
Son et al. (2010) studied the modulus of elasticity of concrete columns with
