Experimental Investigation on Bead Rubber Cement Concrete (BRCC)

Due to huge production in automobile industry the country having huge disposal from rubber tyre as waste also increased and is directly disposes to the earth. The reason for selecting tyre rubber is having more elastic nature, durable, and having high ductile nature. To reduce the cost of construction – partially replace the coarse aggregate with ordinary tyre rubber and steel with tyre bead wire in concrete. The main aim of this project is to study the mechanical properties of rubberized (Rubber-Reinforced) concrete, which is partially replacement of coarse aggregate and tyre bead wire and compare with M20 ordinary mix. At the same time comparing on reducing steel reinforcement by adding bead rubber as reinforcement. At present, the cost of construction increases because of using regular /traditional materials in concrete. From these studies we can use waste materials like tyre rubber from auto mobiles, and silica fume from industry. Utilization of silica fume is to make concrete more durable, economical at usage and increase in strength parameters. The crumbled rubber percentage should be not more than 0.15 ratio of 20% replacement and Bead wire position should be placed in two layers, 2 strips at top and top strips at bottom. By increasing the percentage in silica fume the strength increases comparing to the rubber cubes, cylinders and in prims
