Use of Rubber Tyre Crumbs as Environmental Friendly Material in Cement Concrete
Keywords:
Tyre Rubber Crumbs, Fine Aggregate, ConcreteAbstract
Finding uses for tyre rubber that don't need a lot of investment and can be implemented on a large scale was necessary for society. In order to safeguard the environment, it has been proposed that used rubber from discarded tyres be used in the production of concrete. By substituting crumb tyre rubber for aggregates in this research, an effort is being made to discover the different qualities required for the construction of concrete mix. The source concrete specimen has been determined to be M20 grade concrete. In lieu of traditional fine aggregate, recycled tyre rubber powder has been utilised as fine aggregate. This will enable the mass and efficient handling of rubber tyre wastes in addition to enabling sustainable utilisation of the available aggregates. The rubber tyre wastage is ground into fine crumb, which is then used to substitute the fine aggregate in amounts of 5%, 10%, and 15%. This research examines the best way to utilise crumb rubber as a fine aggregate into concrete by evaluating the workability, homogeneity, compressive, and flexural strengths of rubberized concrete.
