Characteristics of Concrete using Coal Ash along with Crumb Rubber and Treated Water

Abstract

Production of rubber is excessively worldwide every year and so as Fly Ash. Decomposition of rubber and fly ash takes much time so both cannot be discharge off easily in the environment. The aim of this paper is reuse of rubber with coal ash. From this experimental work (Rubberized concrete) different compressive strength, durability is compared with ordinary concrete. Coal ash is also a waste & threat to our environment, so to use it partially as an aggregate in concrete will also help to consume the waste. This paper is focused on the study of concrete using coal ash & crumb rubber & finding out the possible outcome. Compressive strength of Ordinary concrete with coal ash based cement is high and having moderate tensile strength & very low toughness, therefore crumb rubber is mixed in fiber form with the concrete to get the rubberized concrete. The possible outcome of compressive behavior of concrete were examined using  water  after tertiary treatment  From different past & present studies of concrete we can use this in the place where extreme loads are not applied in order to down the overall economy.
