Abstract
—The paper investigates possible use of recycled tire in concrete for partial fine aggregate replacement to provide possible solution for tire waste management as well as aggregate resource conservation. Commercially produced tire crumbs of size ranging between 0.80 to 4.0 mm were used for partial replacement of fine aggregates in concrete. Three fractions of 20%, 40% and 60% replacement were considered in addition to a control mix. A lean mix proportion of 1:2:4 with water-cement ratio of 0.50 was used in this study. In the fresh state, workability improved with increase in replacement percentage of tire crumbs. In hardened concrete, the compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength decreased with increase in fraction of tire crumbs. The apparent density was only slight changed while voids and water absorption decreased because of increase in workability.The relative values of strength exhibit a linear relationship with replacement ratio.
