WITHDRAWN: An exploratory analysis on prejudice substitute of fine aggregate by glass powder and crumbed rubber on M30 concrete

Abstract

Abstract The disposal of wastes in landfills is an important environmental challenge that many countries face around the world. As waste continues to be accumulating and the available capacity of landfill spaces is diminishing, agencies are increasing application and use of recycled materials such as crumbed rubber from tires and crushed waste glass in construction. The basic building materials in concrete construction are primarily aggregate and cement. The utilization of recycled materials can end up in reduced cost and increases the performance while all recycled materials are not matched correctly for concrete construction. From the literature review conducted, it can be concluded that crumbed rubber and crushed waste glass has the potential to be used as an aggregate in construction materials. In this study, the performance of crumbed rubber and crushed glass wastes materials as a valuable substitute for fine aggregates in partial replacement of natural sand in concrete mixes is investigated. An acceptable compressive strength was obtained with up to 8% volume replacement of fine aggregates with crumbed rubber and 20% volume replacement of fine aggregates with crushed waste glass.
