Abstract
The present study is carried out an experimental investigation on both fresh and hardened properties of conventional and self compacting concrete (SCC) containing waste tyre rubber . A comparison study between conventional rubberised concrete (CRC) and self compacting rubberised concrete (SCRC) is carried out. In both CRC and SCRC, the replacement of rubber varies from 0 to 20 % with coarse aggregate. The rubber chips of size 5 and 10 mm are used. The total volume of rubber chips are replaced in coarse aggregate i.e. 40 % from 5 mm size and 60 % from 10 mm size. The mix design of conventional concrete was targeted for M30 grade of concrete. The mix proportion of the concrete was 1:1.03:2.37 with water cement ratio of 0.375. CERA HYPERPLAST XR-W40 high end super plasticisers are used for the production of SCRC. The test results indicate that there was a reduction in the strength of CRC as compared with the SCRC. However, in both CRC and SCRC the replacement of 5 % rubber chips with coarse aggregate gives more strength than other replacement.
