    The document discusses using fibers from waste tires in concrete production. It provides background on the historical development of tires and synthetic fibers. Studies have shown that tire fibers can be reused as an additional ingredient in concrete to increase its strength, load capacity, and resistance to compression and tension. Fiber-reinforced concrete cracks less than regular concrete and has advantages like improved durability and sustainability by reusing waste tires. However, it may have lower compressive strength and workability decreases as fiber content increases.

    TIRE POLYMER
    FIBERS
    Introduction
     Environment concern and caring has
    always been an issue in this fast
    growing modern world. Many citizens
    from all over the world have witnessed
    its constant and dramatic deterioration
    time over time.
    Introduction
     Tire waste are one of the big problems
    and contributors to Mother Nature’s
    destruction. These kind of waste took a
    very long time decompose by itself.
    Long enough for a person to die first
    before a tire would follow.
    Introduction
    Introduction
    Introduction
     Studies have shown that using the fibers
    that are present in the tires of different
    vehicles, it can be reused as an
    additional ingredient for a concrete to
    last longer and to withstand
    compression and tension with much
    load capacity.
    Introduction
     Reinforcing concrete with polymer fibers
    in old tires. In some studies, using of
    tires in concrete production confirmed
    that it is more ecological and economical
    viability to use.
    HISTORICAL
    BACKGROUND OF
    POLYMER FIBER
    Historical Background of Tire
     The earliest tires were bands of leather, placed on
    wooden wheels used on carts and wagons. The tire
    would be heated in a forge fire, placed over the
    wheel and quenched, causing the metal to contract
    and fit tightly on the wheel. A skilled worker, known
    as a wheelwright, carried out this work.
     Synthetic rubbers were invented in the laboratories
    of Bayer in the 1920s. In 1946, Michelin developed
    the radial tire method of construction. Michelin had
    bought the bankrupt Citroën automobile company
    in 1934, so it was able to fit this new technology
    immediately. Because of its superiority in handling
    and fuel economy, use of this technology quickly
    spread throughout Europe and Asia.
    Historical Background of Fiber

     Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other


    materials. The strongest engineering materials
    often incorporate fibers, for example carbon
    fiber and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.
     Synthetic fibers can often be produced very
    cheaply and in large amounts compared to natural
    fibers, but for clothing natural fibers can give some
    benefits, such as comfort, over their synthetic
    counterparts.

    ADVANTAGES
     Reuse of rubber tires promotes eco-friendly
    buildings and sustainable production
     Reduce the concrete's tendency to spall
    explosively under intense heat from fire
     Steel reinforcements running through the
    concrete are also protected against fire
     Fiber-reinforced concrete reduces crack
    formation more than 90% compared to regular
    concrete
     Improve resilience of concrete and improve its life
    span
    DISADVANTAGES
     It has low compressive strength when
    compared with ordinary concrete
     Concrete may not have longer life span
    as estimated by standard IS code
     Workability decreases with the
    increasing of the percentage of rubber
    due to the increasing viscosity of the
    mixture

    How It Works
     Adding polymer fibers to the concrete mix to
    reduce the concrete's tendency to break down
    into smaller pieces.
     Protecting the concrete from fire breaking means
    that steel reinforcements running through the
    concrete are also protected.
     But this polymer admixtures are known to not
    only increase the workability but also modify the
    physical properties of cement pastes by reducing
    macro voids and improving the bond strength of
    the polymer cement mortars to aggregates.
