Abstract:
Globally, the disposal of used tires is a major environmental concern, creating difficulties such as mosquito breeding grounds,
igniting uncontrolled fires, and poisoning soil and vegetation. Therefore, alternative outlets for these tires are urgently
required, with a concentration on tire recycling. Concrete is an excellent building material that is believed essential for
modern civilization and human society. The utilization of recycled tires in concrete is now technically feasible. However,
substituting rubber for concrete will drastically alter its mechanical and durable properties. Even if there is a reduction in
the mechanical properties and durability properties of rubber concrete, this may be overcome by increasing its adherence by
treating the aggregates. To improve the adherence of rubber aggregates, with physical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal
treatments may be utilized. Under the rubberized concrete, the majority of studies collected data on mechanical qualities.
Regarding durable properties, data collection is fairly less. This analysis aims to accomplish that objective by examining the
qualities of rubberized concrete and the strategies for overcoming the challenges associated with rubber concrete’s durability
attributes. This study reviews water absorption rate, water permeability, chloride penetration, carbonization, Alkali-Silica
reaction, and freeze throw resistance, and how to overcome some negative results by various kinds of treatment methods.
This paper is intended to stimulate the use of rubberized concrete in infrastructure development and serve as a foundation
for future research on this material. The usage of rubber concrete will result in the sustainable utilization of waste material,
protecting the environment and conserving sources of diminishing natural aggregates.
