| Abstract | The high usage and dumping of rubber has become a major hazard to environmental pollution. As a solution for this using recycled rubber in day to day applications has taken part. Using recycled rubber particles in concrete mixtures as a primary aggregate has become to consideration and many researches have been done on this procedure. This study elaborates the mechanical properties of rubber mixed concrete in their Drying Shrinkage, Splitting Tensile and Compressive strengths. The rubber percentage is varied between 1%, 5% and 10% with also the rubber particle size, M40, M30 and M20. They were mixed according to a given mix design which is described in the paper. Curing of the specimens were done accordingly as per the study varying from 3, 7 and 28 days. All the specimens were stored under the normal lab conditions. |
