Abstract Disposal of tire rubber waste is a major ecological issue around the world. Millions of scrap tires are thrown away every year, discarded or even buried resulting in a very dangerous environmental threat. Burning of these tires was the cheapest and easiest way of disposal, which leads to fire hazards. After burning process, the left powder pollutes surrounding soil.Temperature also rises in the around area and toxic smoke with harmful components which have critical impact on humans, plants and animals. Safest and practical solutions for eliminating scrap tire are the best way, one of them is to utilize this scrap into concrete industry as partial replacer for both natural fine aggregate (FA) and coarse aggregate (CA) forming conventional plain rubberized concrete (PRC). In this study, control mixture andother six rubberized mixes, contained rubber, were prepared with incorporated rubber particles as a partial substituent to each of fine and coarse aggregates at replacement levels of 10, 20 and 30%. In the study presented herein, workability, compressive strength, static modulus of elasticity,tensile strength |
