Abstract: Concrete is a construction material. It has cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water in proper mix proportion as per IS code 10262-2009. In addition to ordinary concrete the waste tyre rubbers are addad to the concrete.The percentage replacement of waste tyre fine aggregate (<4.75mm) used in this project are 2.5%, 5%,7.5%, and 10% and the percentage replacement of waste tyre coarse aggregate used in this project are 12.5%, 25%,37.5% and 50%. The coarse aggregates are 60% of size 10mm to 20mm size and 40% of 4.75mm to 10mm size for better compaction and to avoid voids during casting and surface finishing. The objective of this project is to determine the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength at which concrete cube, cylinder and prism fails. The concrete strengths of compression, split tension and flexure values varies with in a limit of 20%. Hence it is concluded that fine aggregate and coarse aggregate tyre waste can be used upto 5% and 25% for compressive strength, 7.5% and 37.5% for split tension tensile strength and 2.5% and 12.5% for flexural strength replacement in concrete with loss of strength up to 20%.
