A A Review on Properties of Concrete Having Crumb Rubber as Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregates

Abstract

The problem of waste rubber tires is one of the most serious environmental challenges. Crumb rubber has often been utilized to improve the characteristics of concrete composites. Mechanical treatment, chemical treatment, and thermal treatment are all options for improving the adhesion of crumb rubber aggregates to cement mortar. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of employing crumb rubber as a partial replacement material in concrete on its fresh and mechanical qualities in order to produce sustainable concrete. The results show that the compressive strength of concrete containing crumb rubber decreases as the proportion of crumb rubber increases.
