Concrete is the most widely used construction material; however, the excessive consumption of cement contributes significantly to environmental pollution and depletion of natural resources. In recent years, sustainable alternatives such as Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and waste tyre rubber crumb have gained attention for partial replacement in concrete. This study presents an experimental investigation on the behavior of concrete incorporating partial replacement of cement with GGBS and fine aggregate with tyre crumb.
In this research, concrete mixes are prepared with varying percentages of GGBS as a cement replacement material and tyre crumb as a partial substitute for fine aggregates. The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength are evaluated at different curing periods. Workability tests are also conducted to assess the fresh properties of concrete.
The results indicate that the inclusion of GGBS enhances long-term strength and durability due to its pozzolanic properties, while the addition of tyre crumb improves ductility and energy absorption capacity but may reduce strength at higher replacement levels. An optimum combination of GGBS and tyre crumb is identified, which provides a balance between strength and sustainability.
