Abstract
A waste tire disposal is a major problem and the finding of the environmental correct and potentially attractive method is a greatest challenge. One of the potential means of utilizing the waste tires is to process this waste material for the protection of the environment and society. This study explores the effects of rubber particles on some mechanical properties of concrete. On other word the aim of this work is achieved to highlight the use of rubber tires as a partial replacement of fine aggregate to produce rubberized concrete. For the sake of various engineering application promising effects, three different sizes are involved as partial replacements of crumbed rubber at (10, 20, and 30%) by volume of fine aggregate in concrete mixtures. Three different concrete sets were prepared and tested in terms of compression, stress-strain manners and workability evaluation through weight and permeability tests. The results revealed that using crumb rubber reduced all types of compressive strength. The results also indicated that different crumb rubber sizes have some influence on the workability, which varied between light. and moderate structural weight concrete.
