Mechanical Chanical Properties Of Concerete Using Waste Tyres As Coarse Aggregates

Abstract

Waste tyre rubber constitutes a large portion of solid waste which has turned into a worldwide environmental concern. The waste tyres represents a significant environmental human health, and aesthetic problem. The consumption of waste tyre rubber in concrete has gained more attention from the point of view of enhanced engineering properties. The objective of this study is to explore the effect of rubber types on mechanical properties of concrete. This study presents the results to the investigation of strength characteristics of concrete produced using waste tyres as substitutes for conventional coarse aggregate in replacement of 10%, 20%, 25%.56 cylinders were prepared using waste tyres for this study. It has been observed that compressive strength is decreased 11.5%, 47.9% for 10%, 20% replacement respectively. So tyre aggregate can use up to 10% replacement for proper strength. The use of tyre rubber particles provides a new type of concrete that inspire the use of waste tyres as a replacement of coarse aggregate.
