Studies on Scrap Tyre Added Concrete for Rigid Pavements

Waste tyre treatment is now global threat. Waste tyre dumping, disposal of these materials or burning these tyres cause serious environmental and health problems. This paper investigate the wide range of physical and mechanical properties of concrete containing waste tyre aggregates and assess its suitability as a construction material. Waste tyres are powdered into fine particles of various sizes and are used to replace the fine aggregate used in concrete. The fine scrap tyre aggregate is added as 2%, 4%, 6%, 10%, and 12% increment to replace the fine aggregate. This study aims to investigate the optimal use of waste tyre aggregates as fine aggregate in concrete composite.
