Abstract

Integrated waste management proposes the most progressive options for waste disposal and management; numerous research studies have indicated that waste administration, collection and recycling of waste materials for the sustainable development of resources for the forthcoming years. One of the critical solid wastes to manage in today’s scenario is waste tyre because large amounts of waste tyre rubbers are produced in the world in each year. 275 millions of waste rubbers are produced by the United States every year and about 180 millions of waste tyres produced by European Continents. Disposing of tyre wastes in a landfill is the conventional practice commonly followed by all the countries. These dumps are served as a great breeding ground for insects and mosquitoes and responsible for the spread of many diseases, this becomes a dangerous health hazard. Incineration is an alternate method of disposing the waste tyre that involves combustion due to high temperature creates global warming. Few quantities of waste tyre rubber used as fuel, pigments, roof and roof covering and for road pavement. In this study experimental investigation is carried out for the complimentary use of waste tyre rubber in both fine and coarse aggregate in concrete.
