In this work, partial results derived from a series of laboratory experiments are reported. In this, the use of waste tire rubber as aggregate in Portland cement concrete is studied, replacing 10% by weight of the stone aggregate. Three concrete mixes were studied: plain, with coarse rubber and with fine rubber. The sizes of the rubber particles vary between 6.32 - 9.53 mm, for coarse rubber, and 2.35 - 2.80 mm, for fine rubber. The influence of rubber on the mechanical resistance of concrete was evaluated by means of cylinders and beams, at 28 days of age, under conditions of uniaxial compression, indirect traction and bending load. For the three load conditions studied, the experimental results showed a reduction in the strength of the concrete when rubber is incorporated to replace part of the stone aggregate. The mixture of concrete with fine rubber presented a better mechanical
behavior than the mixture of concrete with coarse rubber; even under flexural conditions, the strength was almost equal to plain concrete.
