Abstract: Recent years have been shadowed by an increase in the adoption of recycled transportation and building materials, focusing on the adoption of damped waste materials. Numerous waste materials, including glass, plastic, and tire rubber, have been adopted in conjunction with standard resources as recycled aggregates or a binder improvement, depending on the application. Rubber from powdered tires may be added as a flexible aggregate in a concrete block, reducing the likelihood of brittle failure and increasing the concrete's capacity to absorb more significant amounts of energy before failure. Due to the high elastic modulus of rubber particles, the substitute of coarse aggregate for crumb rubber may significantly impact the strength characteristics of concrete, resulting in concentrated stress, strain, and bonds between the rubber particles and the cement. Rubber granules are an acceptable substitute for coarse aggregate in developing responsive concrete.
On the contrary, the use of finely graded rubber may result in a tensile behavior with substantial deformations before the complete disintegration of the concrete. It may have a more negligible impact on the loss of strength of the concrete. According to the experiment, despite the experimental concern on safety, it aims to assess rubberized concrete's performance and thus potential use in the concrete making to aid in environmental conservation.
Keywords: recycled aggregates, rubber particles, concrete, stress, strain and compression, tension, and flexural strength.
