Comparative Performance Study of Rubberized Concrete and Conventional Concrete: Strength, Sustainability, and Innovation
Abstract: The growing amount of car waste is a major problem around the world, and getting rid of old tires is especially important for the environment. Rubberized Concrete (RC) uses broken tire rubber as a substitute for natural materials in concrete, which is a smart and new way to help build in a more sustainable way. This review paper compares how well rubberized concrete works against conventional concrete (CC). The study …

A Review on Effects of Waste Tire Rubber Polymer on Fresh, Mechanical, and Impact Resistance Properties of Rubberized Concrete
Abstract: According to the collective findings of numerous researchers, waste tire rubber has proven to be a valuable addition to concrete, contributing to advancements in construction. Rubber crumb is artificial rubber polymers, such as butadiene rubber (BR). The chemical composition of tire rubber crumb that is discarded can be represented by the combination of (C5H8)n, (C8H8)x-(C4H6)y, (C4H6)n, C, S8, ZnO, and complicated hydrocarbons. Various studies have explored the mechanical and impact …

Investigating the Effect of Rubber as Partial Coarse Aggregate Replacement on Concrete Performance
Abstract: The growing challenge of managing scrap tire waste presents an opportunity for recycling these durable materials into concrete production. This research investigates the mechanical properties of concrete with waste tire rubber chips incorporated as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates at 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% by volume. The study evaluates workability, compressive strength, and tensile strength, alongside durability assessments in a 5% sulphuric acid solution. Initial findings indicate that …
