Performance Analysis of Sustainable concrete with Partial Replacement of Coarse aggregate by Recycled Rubber Aggregates

  • Abstract:
  • The drive towards sustainable construction practices has led to the exploration of innovative materials that can reduce the environmental impact of concrete production. This study focuses on the performance analysis of concrete incorporating recycled rubber aggregates (RRA) as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates. The investigation aims to assess the mechanical properties of the developed sustainable concrete through compressive, split tensile, and flexural strength tests at curing ages of 7, 14, and 28 days. In this research, conventional coarse aggregates were partially replaced with recycled rubber aggregates in varying proportions. The RRA were obtained from discarded automobile tires, contributing to waste reduction and promoting the reuse of materials that would otherwise contribute to landfills. The experimental program involved the preparation of concrete specimens with different percentages of RRA replacement (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) while maintaining a constant water-cement ratio to ensure consistent workability. The compressive strength test was conducted to evaluate the load-bearing capacity and durability of the sustainable concrete. These tests were carried out at specified curing intervals to analyze the evolution of mechanical properties over time.
