Adding crumb rubber to stucco and mortar mixes enhances crack resistance and thermal insulation. While compressive strength decreases, this can be managed, offering a sustainable use for crumb rubber.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Construction Engineering
  • Sustainable Materials

Background:

  • Most Arizona homes utilize stucco/coatings/mortars on walls.
  • Crumb rubber is a waste product with potential for material enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the addition of crumb rubber to stucco/coating/mortar mixes.
  • To evaluate the thermal and mechanical properties of these modified materials.

Main Methods:

  • Laboratory experiments were conducted to test crumb rubber mixes.
  • Thermal and mechanical performance were assessed.
  • A site experiment involved spraying crumb rubber coatings on a tire-adobe wall.

Main Results:

  • Crumb rubber mixes showed improved crack resistance and thermal insulation.

  • Reduced thermal expansion and contraction were observed.
  • A decrease in compressive strength was noted, but deemed manageable.

    • Conclusions:

    • Incorporating crumb rubber into stucco/coatings/mortars offers significant performance benefits.
    • The practice presents a viable method for consuming large quantities of crumb rubber.
    • Long-term site testing indicates the durability of crumb rubber coatings.
