    This document discusses the use of crumb rubber, which is recycled rubber from scrap tires, as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete. A study investigated the compressive strength of concrete with 0-30% replacement of fine aggregate with crumb rubber at 7 and 28 day curing periods. The study found that up to 15% replacement did not negatively impact compressive strength and can provide more sustainable concrete. Using crumb rubber in concrete helps reduce waste tires in the environment and provides an innovative construction material.

    Abstract-Crumb rubber is a term usually applied to recycled rubber from automotive and truck scrap tyres. During
    the recycling process steel and fluff is removed leaving Tyre rubber with a granular consistency. Continued
    processing with a granulator and/or cracker mill, possibly with the aid of cryogenics or mechanical means, reduces
    the size of the particles further. It is not possible to discharge the rubbers in the environment because they
    decompose very slowly and cause lots of pollution. So, it is necessary to have a relevant use of these wastages. These
    waste materials can be used to improve some mechanical properties of concrete. Addition of rubber to concrete
    results in the improvements of some mechanical and dynamical properties. Such as more energy absorption, better
    ductility and better crack resistance. By using the waste tyre (crumb rubber) one can reduce the harmful effect on
    environment and provide sustainable concrete.
    Key words-crumb rubber, utilization, compressive strength, low cost, sustainable

    INTRODUCTION
    Utilization of industrial waste products
    in concrete has attracted attention all around the
    world due to the rise of environmental
    consciousness. Accumulations of stockpiles of
    Tyres are dangerous because they pose a
    potential environmental concern, fire hazards
    and provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes
    that may carry disease. Tyre pile fires have been
    an even greater environmental problem.
    Tyre pile fires can burn for months,
    sending up an acrid black plume that can be
    seen for dozens of miles. That plume contains
    toxic chemicals and air pollutants, just as toxic
    chemicals are released into surrounding water
    supplies by oily runoff from Tyre fires. In order
    to prevent the environmental problem from

    growing, recycling Tyre is an innovative idea or


    way in this case. Recycling Tyre is the processes
    of recycling vehicles Tyres that are no longer
    suitable for use on vehicles due to wear or
    irreparable damage (such as punctures).
    Tarun have reported that the
    compressive strength of rubberized concrete can
    be improve when fine aggregate was fully
    replaced by fine crumb rubber. He also indicated
    that if the rubberParticles have rougher surface
    or given a pretreatment, the better and improved
    bonding may develop with the surrounding
    matrix, and that may result in higher
    compressive strength.

    and higher fracture energy.Waste Tyres are a
    utilisation of waste Tyres in concrete
    production. Waste Tyres have been used to
    tremendous problem throughout the world. It is
    partially replace the aggregates in mortars and
    hardly surprising that in many countries it has
    concrete. Tyre rubber can be used to produce
    been deduced that the best option is to simply
    workable concrete for specific applications,
    provided that adequate selection processes are
    burn them in cement kilns. At least in this way,
    undertaken including the amount, gradation
    the reasoning goes, some of the energy invested
    and shape of Tyre particles. This section deals
    in the Tyre is reclaimed.
    with the properties of either mortar or concrete
    modified with waste Tyre rubber.

    CASE STUDY
    In the present study, effect of crumb rubber as
    fine aggregate replacement on the compressive strength
    of concrete having mix proportions of 1:1.31:1.14 was
    investigated. The percentages of replacements were 0%,
    10 %, 20% and30%by weight of fine aggregate. Tests
    were performed for compressive strength or all
    replacement levels of crumb rubber at different curing
    periods (7-days & 28-days).

    APPLICATIONS OF WASTE TYRES IN
    CIVIL CONSTRUCTION

    Tyre rubber in concrete and mortars


    Research on cement-based products
    modified with Tyre rubber such as concrete
    and mortar has been carried out for many
    years in order to examine the potential

    CONCLUSIONS
    We can say that for 1m3 M20 grade of
    concrete consumption of fine aggregate is
    775.96 kg. Here in specimen M-3 we replace
    fine aggregate by 24.62 kg of crumb rubber for
    1m3M20 grades of concrete. So, we can say that
    up to 15% foundry sand utilized for economical
    and sustainable development of concrete. Uses
    of crumb rubber in concrete can reduce the
    harmfulness to the environment and produce a
    greener concrete for construction. An
    innovative supplementary Construction Material
    is formed through this study.
