Effect of Discarded Group B and Group D Car Category Tyre Rubber Chippings as Partial Replacement for Coarse Aggregates in M25 Concrete. by Wancha, Vicent

“…Therefore, the best method of disposal to preserve the environment is to use used tyre rubber to create concrete. It was observed that a mixture of group B and group D scrap tyre rubber chippings in concrete at 15 percent replacement achieved the best result of compressive strength (14.815Mpa) as compared to the control experiment(25.529Mpa) after 56 days of curing unlike group D and group B which showed slightly lower values i.e., 14.232Mpa and 14.661 Mpa respectively.…”
