ASSESSMENT OF CONCRETE PROPERTIES MADE WITH WASTE TYRES AS PARTIAL REPLACEMENT FOR COARSE AGGREGATES AND NANO-SILICA AS STRENGTHENER.
Abstract
Waste Tyre rubber is one of the significant environmental problems world-wide. With the increase in the automobile production, huge amounts of waste tire (tyre) need to be disposed. Research had been in progress for long time to find alternatives to the waste tire (rubber) disposal. These alternatives are the recycling of waste-tire rubber. Discarded vehicle tires constitute one important part of solid waste which had historically been disposed of into landfills. An emerging use is the production of concrete, in which tyre rubber particles partially replace natural aggregates. This has the additional advantage of saving in natural aggregates used in the production of concrete which are becoming increasingly scarce. An emerging use is the production of concrete, in which tyre particles partially replace natural aggregates. This has the additional advantages of saving in natural aggregates used in the production of concrete which are becoming increasingly scarce. In this paper we will study about physical and mechanical properties of concrete containing recycled tyre or rubber material aggregates, to assess its suitability as a construction material.
