Structural element a part of whose volume is occupied by a compressed elastomer material and process for achieving it.

摘要

The process consists in producing construction structural elements (7) whose internal volume is partially occupied by an elastomer material reduced in volume by compression. It is particularly suitable for using, for this purpose, casings (3) of tires that are no longer usable. The casings are reduced to pieces (3') and conveyed into a press (4) that performs their compression to reduce the volume 87%. Packages (3'') thus compressed are blocked in this situation by ties (6') or vulcanization and then inserted in a form (9) for concrete provided with the necessary reinforcement (7''). When the filling of the form with concrete (7') is performed and the setting has occurred, a lightened element (7) is obtained provided with a relative elasticity. The process also achieves the important result of obtaining the elimination, without pollution, of tires no longer recyclable.
