BEHAVIOR OF BEAMS MADE FROM CONCRETE CONTENT WASTE RUBBER AS AGGREGATE REPLACEMENT

Disposal of tyre rubber is becoming a huge problem in India day by day. Researchers are trying to use those rubber in civil engineering projects from long day back. Crumb rubber replaced fine aggregate is qute a common practice now a days. An attempt was made to replace 10% chipped rubber with coarse aggregate and beams were casted with that concrete mix.They were tested to failure. Deflection, ultimate load, first crack,stress vs strain,load vs deflection are all studied. Efforts have been taken to identify the potential application of waste tyres in civil engineering projects. This study can show an alternative way of recycling tyre by incorporating them into concrete construction. Main focus was made on the behaviour of beam made from recycled rubber chips .
