摘要

Concrete, a fundamental material, has sustainability problems because of its heavy reliance on sand. This study looks into creative ways to enhance concrete’s qualities while taking environmental issues into account. This study examines the combined effects of using crumb rubber in place of certain fine aggregate (sand) on the performance of concrete. Different ratios of crumb rubber were examined, with a focus on grade combinations M60 and M70. The mechanical and durability characteristics of concrete specimens were assessed by means of thorough experimentation. The main characteristics that were looked at were water absorption, chloride ion permeability, compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths. The outcomes show notable improvements in concrete performance. Improved durability and increased mechanical strength are signs that crumb rubber additives are working. These results point to potential uses in high-performance and sustainable building, which will promote innovation in the built environment. To sum up, the incorporation of crumb rubber presents a sustainable method for the manufacture of concrete. In order to improve mix designs and evaluate long-term performance and advance the use of ecologically friendly materials in building, more study is required.
