Concrete is one the most extensively used construction material all over the world. Many scientists and researchers are in quest for developing alternate construction material that are environment friendly and contribute towards sustainable development. Huge amount of rubber tyres waste is being generating day by day which creates the disposal problem and has many environmental issues. As this scrap rubber waste is an elastic material having less specific gravity, energy absorbent material can be used as a replacement material for obtaining light weight concrete. In present study the modified concrete is prepared by replacing coarse aggregates in concrete with rubber aggregates by varying the replacement proportion from 0% to 20% with increment of 5%. The elastic properties are determined from concrete cubes. 3 cubes for each percentage of replacement are casted and tested after 28 th days of curing. Method of initial functions is used for the analysis of beams. The Method of initial functions (MIF) is an analytical method of elasticity theory from which stresses and displacement can be determined. This attempt of replacing the coarse aggregates with rubber aggregates will save the natural aggregates, reduces weight of structure and also helps achieve sustainability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
