Abstract

The disposal of waste rubber tyres is becoming an extremely critical matter as a direct consequence of the fast expansion of the automotive industry. In this experimental investigation, an attempt has been made to mitigate the effects of this issue by incorporating waste rubber tyres in the form of crumbled rubber into ordinary Portland cement concrete by the replacement of fine aggregates at varying percentages of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%. In addition, blended cement pastes were prepared by partially replacing the cement with waste marble powder. The cement was replaced by waste marble powder in the percentages of 0, 5, 5.5 and 6% by the dry weight of cement. The experimental findings indicate that the substitution of 5% cement with waste marble powder yielded the most favourable outcomes. Experimental tests were conducted to assess the compressive strength, flexural strength, density and durability characteristics, specifically water absorption, of concrete specimens with varying proportions of crumb waste rubber tire and waste marble powder. Thus, it has been stated that incorporation of 10% crumbled waste tyre rubber as a substitute for fine aggregate and 5% waste marble powder as a substitute for cement presents a feasible alternative for the fabrication of eco-friendly concrete.
