Abstract: Waste tire rubber, as a non-biodegradable material, have relative long lifetime, and because
of this fact interest for replacing natural aggregate in concrete mixtures with waste tire rubber
has attracted the attention of engineers, building industry and recycling industry to produce
concrete with rubber, i.e. rubberized concrete (RC), providing eco-friendly concrete with
recycled tire rubber. On the other hand, self-compacting rubberized concrete (SCRC) is a type
of SCC with waste rubber which is partially replacing natural aggregate, on different
replacement level, by weight or volume. The possibility to use recycled material, i.e. waste tire
rubber, as a natural aggregate can not only preserve natural minerals but can also contribute to
circular economy and sustainable waste management in accordance with currently valid
European legislation.
