Abstract

With rapid increase in the number of vehicles every day, the amount of scrap tire generated keeps skyrocketing as it is estimated to reach 1.2 billion tonnes annually by 2030. Scrap tires continue to pose serious environmental, health and aesthetic problems as they are bulky, non-biodegradable, good breeding area for mosquitos and rodents and also flammable materials. Several attempts have been made for the proper utilization and management of scrap tires. Due limitation in the recycling of scrap tires, one of the most viable solution is to used crumb rubber from scrap tire as partial replacement to fine aggregate in concrete industry. This is rationalized as the production of concrete hit more than 3.8 billion cubic meters annually, therefore, it could provide a solution on conservation of natural aggregate and as well as improve properties of concrete. This paper present a review of the recent researches carried out on investigating the fresh and hardened properties of rubbercrete. Construction members and products made of rubbercrete have highlighted as well. In addition, future application related to rubbercrete advancement has been discussed. © IAEME Publication.
