3.1. Temperature Effect on Physical and Chemical Features
- Up to 200 °C, the concrete’s color becomes bright gray, and crumb rubber particles are not affected since the melting point of rubber materials is below 250 °C. A number of microcracks develop on the surface of the concrete. Considering the chemical composition of the concrete at this stage, the ettringites start to disintegrate and the evaporation of the interlayer and capillary water starts. Different studies report the same findings [46,47,48,49,50,51,52].
- At 200 to 400 °C, the color of the concrete changes to a light brown 1–1.25 cm from the surface, and the core of the concrete turns a dark gray color. The rubber particles near the concrete’s surface are partially burned, and far from the concrete’s surface, the rubber is not affected by temperature exposure. At this stage, more cracks on the concrete surface have developed and become more visible. In view of the chemical composition, due to the temperature rise, the interlayer water has totally vanished, and a great portion of the capillary water has also vanished. Part of the CH transforms into water and lime, and the rest develops into more calcium silicate hydrates gel. Similar findings were reported by [46,47,48,49,50,51,52].
- In the 400 to 600 °C range, the concrete becomes dark gray in color from the edges and turns into a darker gray, tending towards a blackish color. The change in color is due to the crumb rubber being totally burned and turning into ash. More cracks develop on the concrete’s surface and become more pronounced. At this stage, crystal water starts to evaporate, which results in the disintegration of CH crystals and C-S-H gel. As reported by [46,47,48,49,50,51,52], a significant amount of CH and C-S-H decompose due to crystal water evaporation.
