Abstract
Waste tyre-rubber disposal is a serious global problem, posing a severe danger to the environment. This present study aims to investigate the performance of concrete utilizing recycled tyre-rubber waste as a partial replacement for natural fine aggregate. Three different sizes of crumb rubber were combined to produce a well-graded sample. Based on various trials, mixed proportions of M30 grade concrete and the crumb rubber replacement percentages were determined. The test specimens were prepared. Experimental investigations have been carried out to study the mechanical, durability and temperature properties of the developed Crumb rubber concrete (CRC). In this study, crumb rubber replaced the fine aggregate in various percentages, such as (0, 5, 7.5, 10 and 15) %. Microstructural analysis was also carried out with EDX and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to visualize the performance of rubber with CSH gel under different temperature conditions. The study found that (CRC5) a 5 % replacement of crumb rubber is the optimum percentage to replace the natural fine aggregate to develop the crumb rubber concrete. The durability tests concluded that the proposed model of rubberized concrete is suitable for any structural elements exposed to acidic environmental conditions.
