aggregates incorporation on
the dumping ratio of concrete
(Zheng et al.

)
Fig. 4.61 Dynamic response
of conventional and
rubberized concrete
(Li et al.
1998
)
for rubberized concrete was significantly lower than that for conventional con-
crete, which indicates that rubber incorporation in concrete reduced the resonant
response.
4.7.3.8 Thermal Insulation Properties
Yesilata et al. (
2009
) observed improvement of the thermal insulation performance
of concrete due to the incorporation of rubber elements with thickness of 2 mm.
This improvement was 18.52 % by adding of square rubber matrix in ordinary
concrete.
4.8 Ceramic Industry Waste
In
Chap. 2
, the properties of some ceramic waste as aggregate were presented in
detail. Here, the fresh and hardened concrete properties with different types of
ceramic waste will be presented.
