Abstract
The accumulation of used rubber tire wastes causes environmental problems because most of them cannot be recycled into new tires. Recently, this waste was promoted to be used as a material replacement in civil engineering. This study investigates the physical and mechanical properties of used rubber tires including ultimate tensile strength (&
Keywords: physical properties, mechanical properties, used rubber tire.
