It is observed that when rubber replacement
increases, the flexural strength decreases in
concrete. The workability increase with the
RESULTS
increasing percentage of rubber. This is because
of lack of bond between rubber particle and
aggregate and hydrophobic nature of rubber.
Despite the reduced compressive strength of
rubberized concrete in comparison to
conventional concrete, there is a potential large
market for concrete products in which inclusion
CONCLUSION of rubber aggregates would be feasible which will
utilize the discarded rubber tyres, the disposal of
which is a big problem for environment pollution
Rubber can be used to produce lightweight
concrete.
