Abstract
Waste tire rubber constitute a serious worldwide problem due to the lack of landfills and the health hazards associated with these landfills. In addition to the environmental motivation for providing a means of recycling large quantities of waste tire rubbers, the use of tire rubber particles provides a new type of concrete that has unique mechanical and fracture criteria. This paper presents the results of recent experimental investigations on rubber concrete. Chipped and crumbed tire rubber particles were used to replace coarse and fine aggregate with different volume replacement levels. With increase in demand of concrete, more and more new methods and new materials are being developed for production of concrete. In this study, the scope of research will be focused on the partial replacement of fine aggregate using Crumb Rubber (CR) material. In present investigation is mainly focused on the effect of mechanical properties on M20 and M80 grade concrete with CR replacement to fine aggregate. CR is used to replace cement in the concrete with 0 to 40 % by weight of cement
