摘要：Concrete is most widely used building material in the world, as well as the largest user of naturalresources with annual consumption of 12.6 billion tons. Basically it consists of aggregates which are bonded togetherby cement and water. The major part of concrete besides the cement is the aggregate. Aggregate include sand andcrushed stone / Gravel. Use of these conventional materials in concrete is likely to deplete the resources unless there isa suitable substitute. Rubber which is generated in large quantities as waste does not have useful disposal till now. Butrubber is found to possess properties that are required for viable replacement of fine aggregate in concrete. Hence we inthis project have aimed to study the effectiveness of rubber as substitute for fine aggregate and utilize the crumb rubbertyres in concrete, to minimize global warming. Aggregate properties viz., specific gravity, water absorption, acidresistance were to be conducted to ascertain the properties concrete specimens were to be casted and tested for concretemix with various percentage of replacement (5%,10%,15% &20%) and its viability for replacement are discussed inthis project.
