Abstract

Rubber tires are produced excessively worldwide every year. It is not easy to remove rubber waste from environment because it causes environmental pollution and its decomposing takes long -time. The reuse of rubber is better than disposal. The waste rubber can be reuse as a coarse aggregate in concrete. This rubber concrete has elastic properties and strong gravity they can also be used has light weight bricks because rubber is in light weight hence it can be replaced coarse aggregate in percentages the weight of concrete reduced. The rubber replaced concrete can be study by conducting experiments on rubber replaced concrete cubes the experimental testes want to conduct on concrete are compressing test, split tensile test and flexible test. The number of unused tires from different types of vehicles increasing rapidly his one of the main environmental problems today. About 1 billion garbage tires thrown away every year, and it is estimated that about 1.2 billion will pass each year. In this study mechanical properties of rubber we came to know that the rubber aggregate using in concrete have an equal strength of ordinary concrete by adding rubber aggregates the weight of the concrete decreases and it can also use as low weight bricks.
