Eldin and Senouci (1993) were the first to study on aggregates derived from used tires. They replaced fine aggregates (1 mm tire crumb) and coarse aggregates (6 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm and 38 mm). It was reported that the particular concrete had lower workability, compressive and tensile strength, and greater tenacity. The decrease in mechanical properties was attributed to the loss of adherence between the surface of rubber particles and the cement matrix. The loss in compressive strength increased with the size of the tire derived aggregated.
