Effects of Scrap Rubber TYRE Aggregates as Partial Replacement of Natural Aggregates in High Strength Concrete

This research work mainly focus on feasibility of incorporating rubber tyre cubical chips as a partial replacement or natural aggregates in concrete. Little work is done using rubberized concrete for normal strength. Here an attempt is made to compare the strength of high strength concrete for different % of rubber aggregates. Experimental program consists of testing the different parameter of the materials used like cement, sand, and aggregate. In the present investigation the mechanical strength like compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength are compared with the rubberized concrete using 20mm single size rubber pieces as replacement to natural aggregate. Replacing by 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. And there results were checked with reference to conventional concrete and the amount of variation in the strength is studied.
