 ABSTRACT

In this study, the use of tire rubber particles as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete is investigated.
Rubber has replaced fine aggregate at content levels of 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 in concrete. Five different series of
concrete mixtures were designed to investigate the various properties on rubberized concrete. The workability,
compressive strength, water absorption, specific gravity etc. has been compared to the corresponding properties
of controlled concrete. Gradual reduction in compressive strength was observed with the increase in the
percentage of rubber aggregates. It also concludes that up to 4% of rubber aggregates can be added into
concrete mixes without considerable reduction in strength of concrete. Percentage of water absorption decreases
as the % of rubber aggregate increases. The workability of rubberized concrete decrease as percentage of rubber
increased. The objective of the study was to study the effect of partial replacement of fine aggregates with
rubber aggregates on different percentages of rubber tyre aggregates to M25 mix. Utilization of rubber tyre
aggregates, which is a waste product, in concrete construction is economically viable and environmentally
effective.
The term concrete mix design may be defined as the process of selecting suitable ingredients for construction of
concrete and to determine their relative amounts with an objective to produce a concrete mix having the
required, strength, workability, and durability in as economical manner as possible. The plastic and the
hardened states are the two states governing the proportioning of ingredient of the concrete mix. If the concrete
(in plastic state) is not workable it becomes difficult to be properly placed and compacted. Therefore, the
property of workability becomes of vital importance. The present work is based on the effect of addition of
rubber crumbs on Portland cement concrete.
In today’s era, solid waste management is the thrust area. Out of this various waste materials, plastic waste,
tire waste and municipal solid waste are of great concern. Aim of our present work is helping to solve Solid
waste management of this tire waste and to investigate the alternate coarse aggregate to reduce cost of structure
and reduce environment pollution. Different combinations of crumb rubber with traditional coarse aggregate
were evaluated based on compression strength and flexural strength tests were conducted according to Indian
Standards. Tests were also carried out to determine workability of concrete. The study pointed out that the
increased in percentage of Crumb Rubber in Concrete reduces the effective Compressive strength and Flexural
strength but increases workability of concrete. Increases of Crumb rubber percentage in concrete it makes more
economical if we consider it to point of environment protection.
