Experimental Study on Properties of Rubberized Fibre Concrete

Abstract

It has been estimated that around one billion tires are withdrawn from use in the world every year. Waste tire rubber is not easily bio degradable even after a long period of landfill and results in a lot of environmental and health problems. Rubber finds its use in concrete because of its property of energy absorption. A lot of research is being done on the usage of waste rubber as replacement of aggregate and cement in concrete.
