The use of waste rubber tyre leads to the protection of environment and also it aids in preserving the natural aggregates. In this study the waste tyre crumb rubber was used as a replacement for natural fine aggregates and was tested for the mechanical properties of M30 grade concrete as per IS 10262-2009. Three different properties of rubberized concrete were tested namely compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength. According to the test results it was noticed that there is decrease in the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength when the percentage of rubber content is increased as compared to the nominal mix. The percentage replacement of natural fine aggregate with crumb rubber was 5%, 10% and 15%. Key words: Crumb Rubber, Mechanical Properties, Fine Aggregates, Waste Tyre.

INTRODUCTION The dumping of waste material is one of the key issues in the whole world. The dumping of the waste tyres is a major matter because this material is very difficult to degrade even after a long time. Waste rubber is also used as raw material for rubber goods. Concrete is made by means of the composition of cement, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate. Among all kinds of
