Abstract
The increased traffic on roads has led to the increased discarded tires, which in turn adds to the environmental azards. These waste tires need to be disposed off and the best way to dispose them is to use them in construction industry. One such use is to use them as aggregates in concrete. This paper evaluates the properties of concrete in which the tire derived aggregates have been used. The discarded tires are used as partial replacement of fine aggregates in concrete. These were replaced in the percentages of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 9% and 11% of fine aggregates and the properties of fresh and hardened concrete were evaluated.
