| dc.description.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. | en_US |
