ABSTRACT
Rapid urbanization, industrialization and infrastructural development at a large scale in the world results a
huge scarcity of construction material and tremendous increase in environmental pollution day by day. Today,
it is a challenge to dispose the waste material like waste tyres, plastic, EPS etc. Some of this material is not
biodegradable since it affects adversely on human life as well as the surrounding environment. So, it is required
to use these waste materials as an alternative source for construction material. The use ofwaste tyres and
polystyrene EPS thermoplastic in civil engineering applications is based upon their unique characteristics like
lightweight, good insulation properties, very high ability to resist water, good long term durability and high
compressibility, low density. This paper investigates the performance of roads usingrecycled waste tyres and
EPS.. The researchers are required to find out an alternative material for road construction because if this
material can be suitably utilized in road construction then the pollution and disposal problems may be partly
handled. Waste tyres for pavement material gives better results in sub-base for highway pavement, highway
medians, sound barrier and other transportation structures. Waste tyre have recently proved to be an
ecological and financial burden in many regions of the world.

I. INTRODUCTIONS
Concrete is a material of construction industry which using all over the world. It is versatile, has desirable
engineering properties, produced with cost effective materials which can be molded into any shape. It is also
brittle in nature. More than ten billion tons of concrete comes from the Latin word “concretus” whose meaning
is compact or condensed. The basic ingredients like sand (fine aggregate –FA) and gravel (coarse aggregate-
CA), cement- used as a binder and water are used for making concrete with waste rubber as aggregate has
emerged in the past decades. Rejected waste tires frequently create “black pollution” because they are not
readily biodegradable and pose a potential threat to the environment. There for this leads to use crumb rubber
from the external part of scrap tires is used as a partial replacement for FA in concrete, and the concrete,
rubber concrete, rubbercrete, and concrete with ground waste tire rubber.
Concrete is one of the most widely used construction today. More than 90%of the structures ranging from
buildings, bridges, roads, dam, retaining walls etc. utilize the concrete for their construction. The versality and
mould ability of this material, its high compressive strength and discovery of reinforcing and prestressing
technique has gained its widespread use, strength, durability and workability may be considered as the main
properties of concrete. In addition good concrete is able to resist wear and corrosion and it should be water –
tight and economical. The concrete must be strong enough to withstand without injury all the imposed stresse
with required factor of safety. To develop a given strength longer time of moisture curing is required at lower
temperature than is necessary while curing is done at higher temperature.
.Lightweight concrete can be defined as type of concrete which includes an expanding agents in that it increase
the volume of the mixture while giving additional qualities such as nailbility and lessened the dead load.

Lightweight concrete is lighter than conventional concrete. EPS or expanded polystyrene is a low density, inert,
hydrocarbon thermoplastic that is extensively used in packaging and thermal insulation. EPS is stable in the
presence of more other chemical with the organic solutes and saturated aliphatic compounds which dissolve
EPS. Complete combustion of EPS in an atmosphere with sufficient oxygen produce carbon dioxide (Co2) and
the increasing amounts of municipal solid waste and industrial wastes. In addition Portland cement
manufacture process, much more reason in the field of construction material in focused on using
environmentally sustainable raw material. In which traditional components have been replaced by waste
material. Waste material alters the municipal and physical properties and durability of cementations material.
Crumb Rubber Concrete is the concrete made out of piece elastic tyre chips and scrape elastic. The common
use of waste rubber in concrete. Research has shown that replacement of conventional aggregates with rubber
results and stiffness. Eldin and senouci (1993) performed tension and compressive strength reduction of up to
85% however noted that rubberized concrete absorbed a great amount of plastic energy.

strength of less than 3% which shows that it can be even used for highway purpose. The obtained material is
stored in a concrete tank with shelter to avoid water entry and clean, dried aggregate only is used throughout
the study
WATER:
The water used in the entire process is tap water and the density is taken as 1000 kg/m 3 and a pH of 6.2 with
TDS of less than 500 ppm with clear and no color. The water is stored in plastic with clear and no color. The
water is stored in plastic containers and closed with a cap to avoid dust or foreign particles entry before mixing
with concrete.Water fit for drinking is generally considered fit for making concrete. Water should be free from
acids, oils, alkalis, vegetables or other organic Impurities. Soft waters also produce weaker concrete. Water has
two functions in a concret mix. Firstly, it reacts chemically with the cement to form a cement paste in which the
inert aggregates are held in suspension until the cement paste has hardened. Secondly, it serves as a vehicle or
lubricant in the mixture offine aggregates.
CRUMB RUBBER:
Crumb Rubber is recycled rubber produced from automotive and truck scrap tyres. During the recycling
process steel and tyre cord are removed, leaving the rubber with a granular consistency. Continued processing
with a granulator or cracker mill, possible with the aid of cryogenics or mechanical means, reduces the size and
classified based on the various criteria including color. The granulate is sized by passing through a screen, the
size based on a dimension (1/4 inch ) or mesh (holes per inch: 10 20).
When dealing with asphalt overlays, reflection cracks can arise and cause an unwanted asphalt uses the stress
absorbing membranes that reduces the reflective cracking because of its elastic properties. With fewer cracks,
there are fewer repairs, so crumb rubber assists in reducing maintenance costs. The pavement has an increased
lifespan because after multiple uses and exposures to different elements, regular asphalts losses elasticity over
time. The use of the artificial rubber resists the formation of cracks and has an anti-aging effect that keeps the
asphalt in a better condition. The tyre crumbs are poured in between the artificial grass blades, giving the
artificial fields more cushion and support.

Fly-ash
Fly ash, also known as “pulverized fuel ash” , is one of the residues generated by coal combustion, and is
composed of the fine particles that are driven out of the boiler with the flue gases. Fly ash includes substantial
amounts of silico dioxide (SiO2) (both amorphous and crystalline), aluminium oxide (Al 2O3) and calcium oxide
(CaO), the main mineral compounds in coal-bearing rock strata. Fly ash particles are generally spherical in
shape and renge in size from 0.5 µm to 300 µm. Two classes of fly ash. The chief difference between these
classes is the amount of calcium, silica, alumina, and iron content in the ash. Fly ash is generally captured by
electrostatic precipitators or other particle filtration equipment before the flue gases reach the chimneys of
coal-fired power plants, and together with bottom ash removed from the bottom of the boiler is known as coal
ash
WASTE TIRES CONVERTE INTO POWDER :
Several small pieces were cut from the rubber part of wasted tires having 0.5 cm X 0.5 cm and about 10g
weight. These samples were placed in a crucible with lid and then heated in a furnace at an interval of
temperatures between 450- 7500C for 1 hr in presence of nitrogen (N2) atmosphere with a 3 1/min flow. After
this process, the crucibles were cooled down to room temperature and the carbonized samples were manually
pulverized with a pestle and mortar. The second method investigated consisted in a thermal shock caused by
the furnace, but this time only at 4000C during 10 min. After this brief period of time, the samples were
immediately immersed in liquid nitrogen (125 ml). After this vaporization of N 2, the residue was manually
pulverized. Thermal shock was only analyzed at 4000C because at higher temperature, the tire rubber initiates
full decomposition very similarly to pyrolysis. It was found that 10 min in the furnace were enough to ensure
the breakage of the bonds to obtain a powder residue.
EPS
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete (also known as EPScrete, EPS concrete or lightweight concrete) is a form
of concrete known for its light weight made from cement and EPS (Expanded Polystyrene). It is a popular
material for use in environmentally "green" homes. It has been used as road bedding, in soil or geo-stabilization
[4657]
e-ISSN: 2582-5208
projects and as sub-grading for railroad trackage.It is created by using small lightweight Styrofoam or EPS balls
as an aggregate instead of the crushed stone that is used in regular concrete. It is not as strong as stone-based
concrete mixes,but has other advantages such as increased thermal and sound insulation properties, easy
shaping and ability to be formed by hand with sculpturing and construction tools.EPS concrete combines the
construction ease of concrete with the thermal and hydro insulation properties of EPS and can be used for a
very wide range of application where lighter loads or thermal insulation or both are desired.

Crumb Rubber in cold recycled bituminousmixes: Comparison between traditional Crumb rubber and
Cryogenic rubber. Construction and Building Materials 68p(370-375). Elsevier 2016.Based on the experimental
data shown in this study, the following conclusions have been reached:
1. The replacement of fine RAP with Crumb Rubber improved the self-compaction of the mixtures while
influenced their volumetric characteristics after compaction.
2. The final density of gyratory compacted samples shows that rubber help into attaining higher degrees of
compaction. In particular an increase of 1.1% and 2.1% is achieved respectively by adding TCR and CCR to the
RAP mixtureps. The difference between the two mixtures with rubber may be attributed mainly to the
difference in gradation.
3. As with HMA, the studied Cold Mixes containing 100% RAP are shown to have a volumetric variation after
compaction. The presence of rubbers enhances this variation with a reduction in% qm up to 4.7% for the TCR
mixture and 2.9% for the CCR.

Influence of Crumb rubber on frost resistance of concrete and effect mechanism. Procedia engineering 27
p(206-213). Elsevier 2012.1. The size of crumb rubber has obvious influence on the freeze-thaw resistance of
CRC. The freezethaw resistance ofCRC increases with increasing the fineness of crumb rubber, when the size of
crumb rubber is less than 60 mesh. In contrast, the freeze-thaw resistance of CRC reduces with increasing the
fineness of crumb rubber when the size of crumbrubber exceeds 60 mesh.2. It is detrimental to improve the
freeze-thaw resistance of CRC when the volume of 6 mesh crumb rubber exceeds60kg/m3.3. The influence of
crumb rubber on the freeze-thaw resistance of CRC is not significantly affected when the volume of20 mesh
crumb rubber does not exceed 30kg/m3; The 20 mesh crumb rubber has negative effects on the freeze-
thawresistance of CRC when the volume of crumb rubber exceeds 30kg/m3, and the freeze-thaw resistance of
CRC getsworse with the increasing of volume of 20 mesh crumb rubber.

Workability
The workability, defined as the ease with which concrete can be mixed, transported and been put into molds, is
affected by the interactions of tyre rubber particles and mineral aggregates. To evaluate the workability of fresh
concrete, a slump cone mold is filled with a fresh concrete mixture, then the mold is removed from the concrete
by a steady upward lift in a vertical direction with no lateral or torsional motion. Immediately after the removal

[4659]
e-ISSN: 2582-5208
of the slump cone, the slump is measured and recorded by determining the difference between the height of the
mold and that of the highest point of the slumped test mixture.

Grade and proportion of rubber aggregates in concrete or cement mixture directly influence the workability . A
higher rubber content has generally been found to reduce workability of concrete. The possible reasons for this
reduction include:
 Reduction of slump area and roughness of aggregate, which increases particles friction within the concrete,
that requires more energy to flow
 High water absorption of rubber particles, which increases water requirement
 Reduction of the plastic unit weight of concrete, dur to entrapment of air in its jagged surface texture and
relatively low specific gravity of the tyre rubber.

Compacting Factor
Degree of compaction is measured using compacting factor (CF). It can be performed by assessing of the ratio of
concrete density for partially compacted concrete to the density of the same concrete which is fully compacted.
The results of this test can provide complementary information regarding the workability and compactability of
prepared rubberised concrete in fresh state. The concrete compacting factor value may vary in a range between
0.78 (very low workability) to 0.95, which presents a high level of workability.
Density test
Density is also known as unit weight. It must conform to ASTMC138 standards. This test is useful as the density
of concrete has been proven to have a direct relationship with the concretes’ strength; a denser concrete is
known to generally provide higher strength and fewer amounts of voids and porosity hence the need for proper
compaction.
Apparatus:
● Container of known volume
● Weighing balance
Procedures:
A container of known volume and weight was filled with concrete and then weighed. Subtract the empty
container weight from the full container weight to get the weight of the concrete, then divide the weight of the
concrete by the volume of container to get the density or fresh unit weight of the concrete. This was done to get
the results.
Density=W1−W2V
where;

W1 = weight of container with concrete.
W2 = Weight of empty container.
V = Volume of container.
IV. COMPRESSION TEST
In actual construction, concrete is often used in compression and it has proven to be strong in compression. The
compressive strength of concrete indicates the control exercised during construction as it serves as an indicator
of how well the concreting was done. This test therefore provides an idea about all the characteristics of
concrete as by this single test, it can be predicted whether the concreting was properly done or not, the
durability of the concrete (the higher the compressive strength, the greater the durability) and also the
suitability of the mix (both the individual materials and the mix ratio) for the construction processes to be
undertaken can be predicted. The factors which affect the compressive strength of concrete include; air
entrainment, water-cement ratio, etc. The test was carried out using 100 mm × 100 mm concrete cubes. The
test was carried out according to 1S: 456.
Apparatus:
● Square concrete mold (100 mm × 100 mm)
● Trowel
● Weighing balance
● G.I. sheet for mixing
● Tamping rod
● Curing tank
● Compression testing machine
Procedures:
● The concrete molds were filled in three (3) layers of approximately 40 mm depth after mixing.
● Compaction was done hand using standard rod and tamping at 25 strokes per layer.
● The specimen was then removed after 24 hours (once it set) and cured in clean/drinkable water for the
required number of days (3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days).
● On the test day, on removal from water the specimen is left to air dry for about half an hour (till the surface is
in a saturated dry condition).
● The weight of the specimen was observed and recorded and the specimen placed for crushing.
● The specimen was then placed in the machine in such a way that the load was applied to opposite sides of
cubes cast and not the top and bottom and the specimen properly aligned.
● The load was applied slowly at the rate of 140 kg/cm2/min until the cube failed/broke.
● The maximum load at the appearance of the concretes’ failure was noted and recorded.
● The compressive strength shall then be calculated by dividing the maximum load applied to the specimen
during the test by the cross-sectional area, calculated from the mean dimensions of the section, and shall be
expressed to the nearest kg per cm2.
Compressive strength of concrete = maximum load carried by specimen/top surface area of specimen.
Compressivestrength=PA

P = Load at failure.

MIXING, CASTING, CURING AND TESTING
Concrete is a composite material which is prepared using mixing of various admixtures and placing it properly
in the prepared mould, curing it for the required period, it may be in laboratory or in field this process has
impact on the concrete strength. In this research we had taken careful attempt in preparing the concrete, it is
prepared in a leveled watertight steel platform which does not absorb the water added in the concrete. The
surface is leveled and cleaned properly the mixing is done for this work in a cleaned tiltable concrete mixer
(electric operated). Before casting of the specimen, the surface is cleaned, watered, the ingredients are

[4664]
e-ISSN: 2582-5208
measured in weight batching and kept ready near vibrator without segregation. Ingredients are mixed in the
mixer machine using standard mixing protocols by placing aggregate first, then fine aggregate with adding half
of required water, allowed to mix properly. Then cement is added in the mix with duly with the addition of
remaining water required. Then the concrete is poured to steel buckets after which the flowability tests were
conducted, then they are placed in the mould using standard placing procedures through which care is taken to
avoid segregation and escape of water. The whole mixing and placing platform are free from direct sunlight and
also moisture, the room temperature during mixing is 290C. Once the concrete is placed in the mould and
vibration is done properly the surface is leveled and vibration is done properly the surface is leveled and the
mould with concrete is covered with polythene sheets to avoid water escape. The setup de-moulded specimens
were kept in clear and adulterant free water which has a pH of 6.9 and no other material is present. Keeping
idle for 1 h, surface cleaning is also done with cotton cloth
There specimens are then pained with white cement to note the crack propagation and marked as per the
specimen number. Testing is done in pre-calibrated testing equipment including compressive strength testing
machine which is digitally controlled with 2000 KN capacity. The prepared specimens are tested as per Indian
standard code provisions with the required loading pattern and timing of load applications. Flexure testing is
done in an electrically operated Universal testing machine with 1000 KN capacity which contains strain
controlling mechanism.

VI. CONCLUSION
From the above the tests and observation we came to the conclusion that the compressive strength of cube
decreases by increasing the % of crumb rubber but the flexural strength increases and combinely the effect of
EPS also plays an important role as at 3% crumb rubber and 7.5% of EPS shows increase in the strength so that
due tocheap available material it can be used in the construction of roads and also in building construction. The
compressive strength of the concrete lies between the desirable result ranges and is highly dependent on the
density. It is directly proportional to the density of the concrete and inversely proportional of EPS beads.It is
concluded by the previous studies and research that partial replacement of aggregate with expanded
polystyrene (EPS) beads makes the concrete lighter than the conventional normal concrete. The strength
increases slightly. Durability of the concrete also better estimated. This study gives an idea to use a waste
material in construction work. This study us to use other waste materials and check for construction work. The
bearing strength of polystyrene aggregate concrete is increased with an increase in the ratio of total area to
bearing area. With the increase in the polystyrene aggregate content, the ratio of the bearing strength to the
compressive strength increased.
