Experimental Study on the Substitution of Waste Rubber Tyre Ash with Natural Sand in the Cement Concrete

The importance of using recycled materials like rubber in construction materials is rising rapidly today. By incorporating used rubber into cement and mortar, we can save landfill space and reduce our dependence on natural resources. Rubber scrap can be mixed in as either fine or coarse aggregate. Add it to Portland cement for a stronger, more durable product (PC). This paper reviews the studies conducted so far on the feasibility of using waste rubber in place of conventional PC-based mortar and concrete’s natural fine aggregate. The strength and water-absorption capacity of materials made from ash from scrap rubber tyres were measured. Test results indicate that waste rubber ash was substitute with natural sand up 10% then strengths of the sample were enhanced after increasing the content of waste rubber tyre ash then strength was decreased. Water absorption capacity of samples was improved as increased the content of waste rubber tyre ash into concrete mix.
