EVALUATION OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE WITH STRESS MARBLE AND CRUMB RUBBER AS PARTIAL REPLACEMENT AGGREGATE

Abstract

Concrete is a man-made composite material in which fine and coarse particles are linked together by cement when combined with water and solidified over time. It serves as one of the most often used construction materials. The expanding auto manufacturing industry presently creates many discarded tires worldwide. Tyre disposal continues to seriously threaten both human health and environment protection. Similarly, the marble business generates a huge amount of trash during mining and processing. The debris is deposited on open ground, causing numerous environmental issues. The primary purpose of this research is to employ marble debris as a substitute for traditional coarse aggregate and crumb rubber material as a partial substitution for fine aggregates in M30 grade concrete mix at varied percentages to build concrete. It also has the added benefit of protecting natural aggregates and preventing environmental contamination. It is an effective method for increasing the mechanical properties of concrete, and its effect on characteristics such as flexural strength, compressive strength and split tensile strength will be studied.
