INTRODUCTION
Waste Rubber tyres have a little scope of being
recycled and mostly end up forming a landfill and
degrading the environment. There is a great potential
for rubber to be used in concrete, thus saves area from
becoming landfill, which means eco-friendly.
Rubber is easily available in the form of used tyres
and is not as costly as other constituents of the
concrete. Thus, if it is used, it will result in more
economical concrete. Rubber has better flexibility
and has lower unit weight than the natural rock
aggregates used in conventional normal concrete.
Thus, rubberized concrete will be very useful in
places where more flexibility is required. Also,
rubberized concrete can be used as light weight
concrete. All the previous research done on this topic
gives almost the same results which is decrease in
compressive strength and weight, increase in
flexibility, ductility, impact and toughness resistance
and enhanced and better sound insulation. These
results are however due to the use of untreated
rubber. Very less work has been done on the treated
rubber being introduced into the concrete. The rubber
used in most of the previous research works has been
used as such, which may be the reason for the
negative results obtained by most of them because
untreated rubber shows a weak bond formation with
the cement paste and other constituents of the
concrete. The problem relating to the decrease in the
workability can be dealt with the help of addition of
certain plasticizers. The shredded tyre rubber as the
replacement of conventional rock aggregates should
not be preferred for structural uses and should only
be used in non-load bearing places. A good amount
of compressibility allows the specimen to absorb
more energy under compressive loads. Even when
the specimen has failed under the ultimate load, it
somewhat remains fixed together and does not get
completely dismantled. Therefore, we can conclude
that the ductility of the concrete is increased. With
the intention of increasing the compressive strength,
surface treatment of rubber particles just before use,
by silica fume has also been tried in past.
Development of ductile behaviour was observed in
concrete before it fails. The density gets decreased
when percentage of rubber is increased in the
concrete. It is because of the fact that the specific
weight of the rubber is lesser than that of the natural
rock aggregates. If some bonding material is used and
pre-treatment is given to the rubber aggregates, the
strength is sure to improve. The flexural and impact
strength of the crumb rubber filled concrete has been
found to be more than latex modified and Portland
cement concrete. When the crumb rubber content is
increased from 0-30%, there is a clear increase in the
workability as well. Crumb rubber being more
workable than the conventional/normal concrete can
thus be very use full in certain conditions, where less
workability is needed. The replacement of aggregates
by crumb rubber also reduces the static modulus of
elasticity and increases its deformability. It can be
used as light weight concrete though it shows less
strength than the normal concrete. The rubberized
concrete shows better ductility and flexibility than
normal concrete which is very use full at the time of
earth quakes. When 100% of aggregate is replaced by
the rubber aggregates, there is a huge reduction of
75% of compressive strength which is extremely
poor and highly non recommended. Sodium
hydroxide treatment increases the compressive
strength of rubberized concrete and up to the
replacement level of 25% by treated rubber, the
requirements of a rigid pavement concrete can still be
fulfilled. Mechanical properties of KMnO4 and
NaHSO3 treated crumb rubber concrete are better
than the untreated rubberized concrete. Surface
treatment of crumb rubber by Lime stone powder and
replacement of cement by silica fume enhanced the
mechanical properties of the resultant mix by great
extent. It has also been found that by using silica
fume in rubberized concrete, the resistance to the
sulphate, acid and chlorine attacks can be largely
increased.
2.OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
• To test all the ingredients of concrete mixes
replaced with crumb rubber (5%,10%,15% in
coarse aggregate) for their physical and
chemical properties.
• To evaluate the strength properties of
concrete mixes made with crumb rubber.
 • To evaluate thermal exposure and reaction of
concrete mixes with crumb rubber.
• To evaluate acid attacks and chloride attacks
on concrete mixes with crumb rubber.
3.MIX PROPORTION
The cement: sand: aggregate ratio of 1:1.73:3.82 is
taken and the calculations of each constituent were
done by weight analysis. For replacements, the
aggregate replacement %age is taken as in Table 1.
Water/cement ratio is kept as 0.45 for all samples.
4.MATERIALS
Tyre Rubber Aggregates:
The rubber used in this research work is from the
tread of a truck tyre which is the part of the tyre that
actually touches the ground or road. It literally covers
the tyre. It is cut down manually to the size coarse
aggregates. The size of the rubber aggregates is kept
around 20mm.
Natural Aggregates:
Fine aggregates used in the present research work
are as per IS: 383-1970 which corresponds to zone
III. Coarse aggregates are used in the sizes of 20mm
and 12.5mm with a ratio of 70:30 having a specific
gravity of 2.81 and 2.75 respectively.

From this paper he concludes rubber has great
capability of becoming a permanent member of
concrete family because of its wide variety of decent
properties like better flexibility, light weight and easy
availability it can be very environmentally friendly to
use this waste material in construction industry.
Treated rubberized concrete posses more compressive
strength compared to untreated rubberized concrete
however even after the surface treatment is given to the
rubber, only 92.57% compressive strength of normal
conventional concrete is regained.

In this paper, crumb rubber concretes with different
replacement forms and replacement levels were
produced. The effect of the volume content of crumb
rubber and pre-treatment methods on the
performances of concrete was investigated. The
following conclusions have been obtained. Adding
crumb rubber into concrete resulted in a significant
decrease of the mechanical properties. (1) The effect
caused by replacing the mixture with crumb rubber
was higher. (2) Compressive strength, splitting
tensile strength and flexural strength were reduced
with the increasing percentage content of crumb
rubber. A 5% replacement of the total mixture with
crumb rubber met the safety strength requirements of
concrete. The negative effect of crumb rubber on
mechanical strength could be minimized and avoided
by pre-treatment of the crumb rubber, using modifier.

Evaluation of Thermal and Structural Behaviour of
Concrete Containing Rubber Aggregate. Thermal
behaviour for concrete was examined using hotbox
technique. No remarkable changes in concrete
properties up to 5% substitution were occurred.
Beyond 5 % substitution, concrete properties change
appreciably. Compressive strength, flexure strength,
workability, stiffness and unit weight of rubberized
concrete decreased as rubber content increased. While
impact resistance, air content and water absorption of
rubberized concrete increased with increase in rubber
content. Thermal performance of concrete containing
rubber aggregate was improved, and promising results
were obtained. Thus, rubberized concrete could be
useful in slabs to improve energy
efficiency of building unit.

An Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of
Coarse Aggregate by Crumb Rubber. Recycle wasted
Tyre Rubber is a promising material in the
construction industry due to its light weight, elasticity
energy absorption, sound and heat insulating
properties. In this the density and compressive strength
of concrete utilizing waste tyre rubber has been
investigated. Recycled waste tyre rubber has been used
in this study to replace the coarse aggregate by weight
of 20%. The results shows that although, there was a
significant reduction in the compressive strength of
concrete utilizing waste tyre rubber than normal
concrete, concrete utilizing waste tyre rubber
demonstrated a ductile, plastic failure rather than
brittle failure. In this study we use to find out the
compressive strength of concrete by the replacement
of coarse aggregate by crumb rubber or tyre rubber, of
in normal concrete in grade of M25 and M30.Finally a
comparative study is made among the normal
conventional beam over to the rubcrete beam.

Study on the behaviour of rubber aggregates
concrete beams using analytical approach. A
modified concrete is prepared by replacing coarse
aggregates in concrete with rubber aggregates by
varying the replacement proportion from 0% to 20%
with increment of 5%. 3 cubes for each percentage
of replacement are casted and tested after 28th days
of curing. The physio mechanical properties like
density, compressive strength and elastic properties
of modified concrete are determined from concrete
cubes experimentally.

Solid waste management has most important because
tyre rubber waste is increasing at a fast rate. Tyre
rubber waste is non-biodegradable nature so that it’s
used as a fuel in many industries which is not
environment friendly. Concrete has notice as an
alternative source of recycling the tyre rubber waste.
Aggregate can be replaced by tyre rubber waste. In
this study, effects on concrete have been observe by
experimental results. In this experimental study M20
grade concrete used as reference point. Tyre rubber
waste used as a coarse aggregate in 5%, 10%, 15%
replacement for conventional aggregate. As per this
percentage cost benefit and strength ratio also
identified.

Rubberized Concrete Made with Crumb Rubber. The
test results of this study indicate that there is great
potential for the utilization of waste tyres in concrete
mixes in several percentages, ranging from 5% to
20%. Based on present study, the following can be
concluded: The strength of modified concrete is
reduced with an increase in the rubber content;
however lower unit weight meets the criteria of light
weight concrete that full fill the strength
requirements as per given by Neville in 1995.
Concrete with higher percentage of crumb rubber
possess high toughness The slump of the modified
concrete increases about 1.08%, with the use of 1 to
10% of crumb rubber. Energy generated in the
modified concrete is mainly plastic.
