Abstract

This review paper provides an overview of the effectiveness of using waste tires in concrete. With the increasing amount of waste tires generated globally, their disposal has become a major environmental concern. Incorporating waste tires in concrete can provide a sustainable solution to this issue, while also improving the performance and properties of concrete. The paper discusses the various methods of incorporating waste tires in concrete, such as using shredded tires as aggregates, adding rubber powder as a partial replacement for cement, and using crumb rubber as a filler material. It reviews the mechanical properties, durability, and environmental impact of the resulting concrete, including compressive strength, flexural strength, abrasion resistance, water absorption, and chloride ion penetration. The review highlights the potential benefits of using waste tires in concrete, including reduced energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, improved durability, and reduced material costs. However, it also acknowledges some challenges associated with this approach, such as the need for proper tire shredding and processing, and potential negative effects on workability and fresh concrete properties. Overall, the review concludes that using waste tires in concrete can provide a sustainable and effective solution for both waste tire disposal and concrete performance improvement. However, further research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects of using waste tires in concrete and to optimize the incorporation methods and ratios for different applications
