Reuse of scrap tyre as partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete and its impact on properties of concrete

This paper will suggests a safe and environmentally consistent method of disposal of tyre waste material. The fine rubber particles obtained during remolding process of tyre at State Transport workshop, Jalgaon are used for replacement of fine aggregate (sand) in certain percentage in concrete. The blends are prepared by replacing 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, 15% and 18% of fine aggregate (sand) by fine rubber particle by weight. The mechanical property of wet concrete like compaction factor is test for workability. The mechanical properties of hardened concrete like density, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength are test for strength of concrete.
