Abstract

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world in which cement and aggregates are the main constituents. This has led to continuous and increasing demands of natural materials used in the construction. Present study aims to explore the potential utilization of scrap tyre rubber in various Portland cement concrete categories for the production to study the structural behaviour of concrete, and to help partially solving environmental problem produced from disposing waste tyres. Raw materials of coarse and fine aggregate used in present study were tested; fine aggregate (sand) was replaced by scrap tyre rubber dust of size 595, 250 and 195 μ with 5, 10 and 15% respectively for three grades of concrete(M25,M30 and M35). Compressive strength test was done on hardened concrete and conclusions were drawn.


Keywords: Concrete, coarse aggregate, compressive strength, pumice aggregate, light weight concrete
