| Abstract: | About 80 million tyres are part of 33 million vehicles manufactured in India in 2011. The usage of tyres for burning in cement kilns is up to 20000 tonnes per year. Landfill has been one of the methods for their disposal, however as rubber tyres are not biodegradable, they remain in the land for a long time causing environmental hazard. An alternative for this waste is use of the material in Concrete-A widely used material. In this paper an attempt is made to study the various properties of rubber. An attempt to design concrete of 25Mpa using artificial sand, Shredded rubber and crumb rubber as a source of aggregate is made, using IS 10262:2009. A comparison with control mix mainly their compressive strength, split tensile strength & flexural strength, which uses conventional material will allow assessing the suitability of using shredded aggregate and crumb rubber in concrete as percentage replacement, for structural applications. An attempt is also been made to coat the shredded Rubber particles with NAOH solution and use the same in concrete. |
| Description: | About 80 million tyres are part of 33 million vehicles manufactured in India in 2011 [1]. After the use of these tyre, the waste generated are used typically for land filling, burning in cement kilns. However rubber tyre being a non-biodegradable material and burning causes emission of harmful gases, they add towards environment hazard. In India the usage of tyres for burning in cement kilns is up to 20000 tonnes per year. In industries, large amount of waste tyres are utilized as fuel, pigment soot, in bitumen pastes, roof and floor covers and for paving industries. [1] A tyre is made of natural rubber (also called virgin rubber), Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR), Carbon black, Nylon tyre cord, rubber chemicals, steel tyre cord and Butyl rubber [1]. These tyres after their use are cut and shredded into chips and shred. The concrete mixed with waste rubber in form of chips and shred added in different volume proportions is called rubberized concrete [2]. Such type of concrete is usually used in manufacturing of reinforced pavement and bridge structures which have better resistance to freeze and ice thawing salts [3,7].Thus when rubberized concrete is used the following issues should be compared and evaluated when considering the application of such materials in the concrete: Collection, processing and transport costs of scrap tyres, Reduction in the environmental costs of land filling and increase in landfill voids and Saving in the virgin materials used to make concrete, can be taken care by substituting tyre rubber in concrete (3-7). |
