Abstract
The objective of this research is to determine the fresh and hardened properties of concrete under the influence of rubber and mineral admixtures. The results of the experiments showed a reduction in compressive strength as tire rubber content increased when compared to control mix. However, the tire rubber treated in NaOH solution yielded slightly better compressive strength results overall. Furthermore, as the tire rubber content increased a reduction in the workability and weight of the concrete was observed and recorded. The results revealed that the optimal replacement ratio is 8% rice husk ash + 10% tire rubber, yielding the highest compressive strength among all specimens tested irrespective of the rubber tire.
