| Summary: | Uncontrolled issues of disposal waste tire rubber create huge environmental impact
and health hazards. An alternative viable solution to minimize these problems is by utilizing
the waste rubber tires in construction materials, which in turn can reduce the use of natural
resources and eventually lessen the cost of construction. This paper mainly focuses on the use
of waste rubber tires particles in concrete with different set of composition ranging from 3 to
12% of cement replacement. Concrete cubes size of 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were prepared
for compressive strength test, and concrete cylinders size of 150m x 300mm were prepared for
splitting tensile test. The result shows that the compressive and split tensile strength of concrete
with rubber as cement replacements is 6-21% lower than the normal concrete. |
