Dr Tariq Aziz | Lecturer in Engineering is thrilled to share that his latest review paper with engineering colleagues has just been published in the Journal of Construction and Building Materials.
This work takes a deep dive into how surface treatment techniques can unlock the potential of crumb rubber as a viable aggregate in concrete, making construction more circular and sustainable. This research sits at the intersection of waste valorisation, green construction, and materials engineering — and offers a useful resource for researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners working toward more sustainable built environments.
If you’re working at the intersection of sustainable construction, waste valorisation, or circular economy — this one’s for you. You can access the article here: Surface treatments of waste tyres for sustainable concrete production: A performance, environmental and cost-based review.
