FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES OF SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE UTILIZING WASTE RUBBER TIRES-A REVIEW

Abstract

Utilization of waste rubber tires in concrete technology is a popular research topic over the last two decades. Reuse of waste rubber tires in self-compacting concrete leads sustainable construction. Several studies have been conducted on incorporation of waste rubber tires in self-compacting concrete (SCC). This review paper draws general conclusions on fundamental properties of SCC by summarising and comparing many independent research works and justifies weather these waste tire aggregates are possible to utilize in self-compacting concrete or not. From the review it is evident that the waste rubber tire aggregates can be used in SCC as partial replacement of both coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. The result Although the mechanical properties of SCC experiences negative effect for introduction of waste rubber tire aggregates, still performance of rubberized SCC is better than ordinary SCC. Fresh properties of SCC incorporating rubber tire aggregates also is in acceptable limit.
