Abstract

The growing challenge of managing scrap tire waste presents an opportunity for recycling these durable
materials into concrete production. This research investigates the mechanical properties of concrete with
waste tire rubber chips incorporated as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates at 0%, 5%, 10%,
and 15% by volume. The study evaluates workability, compressive strength, and tensile strength,
alongside durability assessments in a 5% sulphuric acid solution. Initial findings indicate that the addition
of rubber chips decreases concrete workability, particularly at higher replacement rates, necessitating
the incorporation of a 0.2% Glenium plasticizer to enhance performance. The compressive strength tests
revealed that replacing up to 5% of coarse aggregate with rubber chips results in only a 5.5% reduction
in strength at 28 days, while higher percentages led to significant declines, exceeding 28%. The study
concludes that while waste tire rubber chips can be effectively utilized in concrete, their incorporation
should be limited to 5% to maintain adequate compressive strength. This approach offers a sustainable
solution for waste tire management while promoting eco-friendly construction practices.

Keywords: Scrap tire rubber, rubberized concrete, coarse aggregate replacement, workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, durability, sustainability in construction
