EFFECT ON STRENGTH OF CONCRETE BY PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF FINE AGGREGATE BY RUBBER DUST AND COARSE AGGREGATE BY TYRE CHIPS

Mohd Kashif Khan, Adarsh Mishra

Abstract :

Solid waste management has gained a lot of attention to meet the requirements of globalization in construction of buildings and other structures. Pertaining non–biodegradable nature of waste tyres has become a problem of interest. The usage of tyre rubbers as fuel is not environment friendly and requires high cost. The present investigation aims at the study of properties of recycled concrete in which stone dust & rubber dust is used as a partial replacement for natural fine aggregate and tyre–chips of size 4.7 to 10 mm as partial replacement of coarse aggregate by weight for concrete. It was observed that the inculcation of rubber dust imparts strength to concrete up to some extent but further increment in the percentage of recycled materials leads to subside in strength of concrete
