摘要：In recent years waste handling and management is the primary issue faced by countries all over the world.It is very challenging and hectic problem that has to be tackled in an indigenous manner. On the basis ofstatistical data provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 270,000,000 millions waste tyresare produced each year. The disposal of the waste tyres in landfills is a major issue handled by the localmunicipalities and government sectors. The statistical study gives an estimate that within the next decadethe majority of the landfills used for the waste tyre disposal shall be closed and this poses the problem ofneed for lands for waste dumping. This new problem gave an idea of recycling of waste tyres instead offilling them in bare lands. Recycling of waste is a process adopted by any industry for efficient resourcemanagement. The discharge of waste tyres into expensive and the continuously decreasing numbers oflandfills generates significant pressure to the local bodies identifying the potential application for thesewaste products. In this paper an experimental study is conducted to analyse the behaviour and failurecharacteristics of rubberized concrete where waste tyre rubber is partially replaced with coarse aggregate.
