An Experimental Study on Rubberized Concrete by Using Waste Material with the Addition of Human Hair as Fiber
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Rubberized concrete is a concrete in which the scrap tire rubber is used as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate. It has been estimated that nearly 1000 million tires reach the end of their useful lives every year which imposes a serious problem to dispose of this huge bulk of waste rubber creating a threat to environment. To protect the environment from this problem researchers are consistently exploring to use this rubber as a source to replace the natural resources such as stone aggregates which will also address the growing demand of natural construction material. In the present experimental study, rubberized concrete is to be studied by Compressive strength, Flexural strength, Split tensile strength for M30 Rubberized concrete by replacing 15%,25% & 35% of coarse aggregate by rubber, fine aggregate by foundry sand and comparing it with plain M30 concrete.
