Abstract
Waste materials utilisation has been a very important aspect in the concrete manufacturing to develop the green construction in the last decade. The disposal of waste tyres is one of the most problematic issues in the present scenario. The use of waste tyres in the concrete production is very important to control the waste accumulation and preserve the natural resources. The aim is to investigate the effect of partial replacement of sand by waste tyre crumb rubber in the production of concrete paver blocks. The specimens were prepared for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% replacements by volume for sand. M40 grade concrete was designed and used in this study. The paver blocks were prepared in the industry and tested in the laboratory to determine the impact resistance. The test results revealed that the impact resistance for both first crack and ultimate failure increased with an increase in the crumb rubber content up to 25%.
