Abstract

In this paper, we are going to discussed about the replacement of aggregates by discarded tyre rubber. This type of concrete is known as “Rubcrete”. It will cover the issues with the natural aggregate and also the explanation behind the utilization of rubber. The types of rubber tyre that are used, influence of size and content of rubber on concrete, effect of surface texture are discussed. Changing the properties of rubcrete over the normal concrete, in hardened and fresh state like slump, air content, unit weight, plastic shrinkage, mechanical strength will be discussed. In this paper we are covering the mechanisms behind the strength change, heat, impact resistance and sound insulation, freezing and thawing resistance of rubcrete. At the last, discussion on applications of rubcrete.
