Improving the Compressive Strength of Rubber Modified Concrete Using Synthetic Resin

It has been realized that the generation of solid waste and the disposal problem related to it is a standout amongst the most vital issues which our human progress is confronting in present era. The generation of non-biodegradable and hazardous waste alongside the consumer population growth has brought waste disposal crisis. Solid waste can be arranged into various sorts relying upon their source: a) Household, b) Industrial (toxic and hazardous) and c) Bio-medical (infectious), Among industrial wastes, the tyre rubber wastes or scrap tyres are one of the hazardous wastes which are being generated and accumulated on very large scale worldwide every year. India’s waste tyres represent around 6-7% of the worldwide aggregate. The waste rubber tyres in India are rising with the 12% per annum growth in the local tyre industry. At global scale a lot of research has been carried out on the use of waste rubber tyres in concrete. Countries like USA and France has made it mandatory to utilize crumb rubber in highway construction. The rubberized concrete was first introduced and checked for its application in engineering works in early 1990s .Waste rubber tyres can be incorporated..
