JCE_V1_N2_RP5 Waste Tyre Rubber Based Concrete - A New Generation Practice For Solid Waste Management And Preventing Depletion Of Natural Resources T. Senthil Vadivel R. Thenmozhi Journal on Civil Engineering 2249 - 0779 1 2 47 54 Integrated Waste Management, Solid Waste Management, Waste Tyre Rubber, Landfill and Incineration Integrated waste management proposes the most progressive options for waste disposal and management; and numerous research studies have indicated 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 each year. 275 millions of waste rubbers are produced by the United States every year and about 180 millions of waste tyres are produced by European Continents. Disposing of tyre wastes in landfill is the conventional practice commonly followed by all the countries. These dumps are serving as a great breeding ground for insects and mosquitoes and responsible for the spread of many diseases, and this becomes a dangerous health hazard. Incineration is an alternate method of disposing the waste tyre that involves combustion due to high temperature and creates global warming. Few quantities of waste tyre rubber are 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.
