... However, the addition of NS not only improved the compressive strength but also reduced the rate of decrease in the elastic modulus. This was expected because of the direct relationship between the compressive strength and the elastic modulus in concrete and mortar, which has been confirmed in previous studies [56][57][58]. Fig. 13 shows the changes in the elastic modulus of the rubber mortars compared to the control specimen (NS0-RP0). A maximum drop of 38.5% occurred in the elastic modulus of the mixture with 10% RP without NS. ...
