This consideration is of importance todetermine the amount of redistribution of moment that is possible in limited state design. Also, itis of importance in seismic design because to survive a severe earthquake, a structure should becapable of absorbing and dissipating energy by post-elastic deformations. To have an idea aboutthe energy dissipation and ductility, it is essential to conduct impact test. An attempt is made inthis paper to cast and test the cylindrical specimens made of Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) andWaste Tyre Rubber Aggregate Concrete (WTRAC) for impact loads with a steel ball drop weight.The test results show that the WTRAC with 6% replacement of both fine and coarse aggregatewith rubber aggregates considerably improves the impact resistance and ductility characteristics.Regression model has been developed to estimate the impact strength for WTRAC specimen.}, keywords = {Plain cement concrete,waste tyre rubber aggregate concrete,impact resistance,Energy absorption}, url = {https://ijstc.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1867.html}, eprint = {https://ijstc.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1867_2993bc91429fcd2b273a69fc06061e75.pdf} }
