Green Concrete Using Waste Rubber Tyre Particles

Abstract

Concrete is perhaps the most often utilized construction material, in which cement and aggregate are unavoidable to manufacture. So, the use of excessive aggregate may lead to higher prices as a requirement of natural resources being costly. Solid waste management is attracting considerable interest these days. Different types of solid waste, such as waste tyres, have become a source of concern because they are not biodegradable nature. In many industries, for instance thermal power plants. The large proportion of discarded tyre rubber is converted into fuels, Cement furnaces, brick furnaces etc. Sad-ly, such use is not environmentally friendly and highly demanding, but it is costly. As a result, use of such leftover tyre rubber in making concrete was deemed to be an additional method of waste disposal. This type of garbage is intended to safeguard the environment. Attempt made in this analysis to classify the different properties mandatory for the creation of concrete mix with rough tyre rubber particles to be used as aggregate in a systematic manner. As part of this project, the M20 grade concrete was selected as the reference concrete specimen. In place of traditional coarse aggregate, rubber tyre granules in the form of cementitious material are employed.
