FULL RESEARCH TITLE

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TRADITIONAL CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS AND CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS WITH CRUMB TIRE RUBBER AS AN ADDITIVE COMPONENT ON ITS STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE

An experimental comparison of conventional concrete hollow blocks and mixes with 3%, 5% and 7% crumb tire rubber as a partial fine-aggregate replacement. The study examines density, water absorption and compressive strength to assess the trade-off between recycled material use and structural performance.

RESEARCH INSIGHT

The tested rubber mixes showed lower density, higher water absorption and substantially lower compressive strength. The 3% mix retained the most strength among the rubber mixes, but remained well below the control.

FULL RESEARCH TITLE

EVALUATING ENGINEERING STUDENTS' PERSPECTIVES ON ELECTILES AS PAVEMENT MATERIAL AT THE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES STA. MESA, MANILA

A proposed descriptive and correlational study of how PUP engineering students perceive electricity-generating pavement tiles. The manuscript outlines a survey of 371 students across seven engineering programs, considering product quality, user safety, maintenance and perceived usefulness during power interruptions.
