ABSTRACT
Waste rubber tyres is one of the significant environmental problems worldwide because of increase in
auto mobile production huge amounts of waste tyres need to be dispose. Due to rapid depletion of
available sites for waste disposal, many countries banned the disposal of waste rubber tyres in landfills.
Hence, efforts have been taken to identify the potential application of waste rubber tyres in civil
engineering projects. Rubber tyres chips are a waste material that is ideal for use in concrete
applications. This has an additional advantage of saving in natural aggregates used in production of
concrete which are becoming increasingly scarce. In this essence, our present study aims to use of waste
rubber tyres as partial replacement of coarse aggregate to produce rubberize concrete in M35 grade of
mix. Different partial replacements of rubber chips (5,10%) by volume of coarse aggregates are casted
and tests was conducted for compressive strength ,split tensile strength and flexural strength for 14
days. The results show that, 10% of rubber waste gives the highest strength for desired concrete and
so considered as light weight concrete. It is recommended to use the rubberized concrete in concrete
industry .
INTRODUCTION
Cement and aggregate, which are the most important constituents used in concrete production, are the vital
materials needed for the construction industry. This inevitably led to a continuous and increasing demand of
natural materials used for their production. On the other hand, tyre wastes are increasing annually because of
the increase in the vehicle usage now-a-days. These tyres are used for various purposes.These wastes are
shredded to the size of coarse aggregates to partially replace coarse aggregate in concrete.

1. RUBCRETE CONCRETE : -
 The concrete mixed with waste rubber added in different volume proportions is called rubcrete concrete.
Partially replacing the coarse or fine aggregate of concrete with some quantity of small waste TYRES in the
form of crumb and chipped can improve qualities such as low unit weight, high resistance to abrasion,
absorbing the shock and vibrations, high ductility and brittleness and so on to the concrete.
2. Sulphur rubber concrete (SRC:)
Sulphur rubber concrete (SRC) is an innovative idea. In Sulphur rubber concrete, melted element
Sulphur, instead of Portland cement, act as a binder. This is why the concrete is called Sulphur rubber
concrete, because there is no Portland cement in it. Production of Sulphur concrete is a hot mix procedure
similar to the process for manufacturing of asphalt concrete. Sulphur concrete can be manufactured in a
modified asphalt batch plant or a continuous mix facility. When rubber is used in the Sulphur concrete to
replace some of the natural aggregates.

3. Fiber reinforced concrete: -

A major reason for the growing interest in the performance of fibers in cement-based
materials is the desire to increase the toughness or tensile properties of the basic matrix. Fiber reinforced
concrete was created to combine the tensile strength of rubber with the compressive strength of concrete. It
was also intended to increase the toughness of concrete by including waste tyres as fibers into the Matrix.
4. Hazards of Tyres waste: -
 These Waste Tyres are produces carbon by burning process.
 This amount of Tyres is very large manner so it becomes dangerous as well as uncomfortable to placing, because
of Land problems to our country.
 Potentially harmful substances were found exposed to highly acidic solutions.
 Aside from the persistent annoyance, mosquitoes have been shown to spread various dangerous diseases.
 Equally hazardous are Tyres fires, which pollute the air with large quantities of carbon smoke, hydrocarbons and
residue.
 Not only are these Tyres mounds eyesores, they are also environmental and health hazards.
 The little pools of water retained by whole waste Tyres create an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.
 These fires are virtually impossible to extinguish once started .
OBJECTIVES
 Examine the effects of increasing the coarse aggregate replacement percentage with recycled Tyres
chips on concrete fresh properties, compressive strength, split-tension, flexural strength
 Determine an optimum replacement percentage of coarse aggregate with recycled Tyres flap chips
for concrete mixtures.
 Provide recommendations for the use of recycled Tyres flap chips as a coarse aggregate
replacement in a concrete mixture designed for field implementation.
 The main benefit of the research is to find an alternative to recycle waste Tyres flaps in concrete.
 Reducing land space needed for waste products, and potentially decreasing costs associated with
the product development and construction.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Mulagno Banerjee, Jessy Rooby(2019)
In this present study, cubes are casted of M25 grade by replacing 5, 10, 15 percent of tyre rubber aggregate with
coarse aggregate and compared with regular M25 grade concrete. Properties of fresh concrete like workability,
compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength of hardened concrete were identified. The aim is to
investigate the optimal use of waste tyre rubber as coarse aggregate in concrete composite. It is observed that the
compressive strength, split tensile strength as well as the flexural strength decreases as the addition of percentage
of rubber increases. 5 & 10 percent replacement of rubber aggregate may achieve the compressive strength.

Aiello M. A., and Leuzzi, F. (2010)

In this study they commented that the utilization of waste products in concrete has an attractive
advantage and attention all around the globe and the reason for this is the awareness among the
researchers in the form of environmental consciousness.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Zunaithur Rahman, D.Jeyamugesh,S.Sivaranjani,S.Vijayaraghavan.(2016)
In this essence, our present study aims to use of waste rubber tyre as partial replacement of coarse aggregate to
produce rubberize concrete in M20 grade of mix. Different partial replacements of rubber chips (0, 10, 20 and 30%) by
volume of coarse aggregates are casted and tested for compressive strength in water as well as in acid curing on 14 and
28 days. The results show that, 10% of rubber waste gives higher compressive strength and durability performance and
so considered as light weight concrete. It is recommended to use the rubberized concrete for nonstructural applications.

Batayneh M. K., Marie, I and Asi I. (2008),

In this study they stated that the accumulations of stockpiles of the rubber tyress are very dangerous to the
society as they pose a great environmental concern, hazard due to fire and provision of breeding grounds for
various insects like mosquitoes which may carry very diseases from this source.

MATERIALS USED
 Ordinary Portland cement of 53 grade.
 Coarse aggregate was Passed through 80 mm sieve and
retained on 4.75mm sieve.
 Fine aggregate was passed through 4.75mm sieve.
 Water cement ratio.
 Maximum size of rubber aggregate was 20mm.
Cement Ordinary Portland Cement
Cement is a primary binding material. It binds together for both fine aggregate, coarse
aggregate and water. The cement used in this research is OPC 53 grade with specific gravity of 3.15.
The used cement confirming to IS 12269-2013. The initial setting time of this cement is 30 minutes
and the final setting time is 6 hours.
Coarse Aggregate
The coarse aggregate is a tertiary material in concrete. It gives better compressive strength
to concrete. In this research the coarse aggregate size used from greater than 4.75mm to 10 mm

Fine Aggregate
Fine aggregate is a secondary material in concrete. It fills the gap of coarse aggregate and
gives smooth surface finish of concrete. The fine aggregate used in this research confirms to IS:
383-1970 with specific gravity of 2.6 and corresponding to the location of zone II.

The crumb rubber is in the form of both fine aggregate size (less than 4.75 mm) as well as in coarse
