Study of Rubber Aggregates in Concrete: An Experimental Investigation (original) (raw)

2010

Abstract

Concrete is one of the most popular building materials. The construction industry is always increases its uses and applications. Therefore, it is required to find alternative materials to reduce the cost of concrete. On the other hand, Non-biodegradable waste i.e. water bottles, cool drink bottles and disposable glasses, shredded or crumbed rubber etc., is creating a lot of problems in the environment and its disposal becoming a great difficulty. The objective of this paper is to investigate the use of rubber pieces as coarse aggregate in the concrete. Concrete tested with varying percentages of rubber from 10 to 50% of normal aggregates. Compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete is measured and comparative analysis is made.
