Noise Reduction with Rubberized Concrete: A Review

Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy and population of India and worldwide, noise pollution and disposal of scrap tyre rubber become a huge environmental problem and affecting human and animal life. In this paper, a review of previous research is made to reduce and control noise transmission with use of end-of-life tyre as coarse aggregate at the different percentage in concrete. As a result, it was found that rubber replaced concrete can be used for noise insulation and has desirable strengths. Benefits of noise reduction with the replacement of rubber waste in every aspect briefly presented in this paper. In conclusion, our research background on noise reduction with rubberized concrete is also explained in details.
