Abstract:

In this paper an attempt has been made to study the use of used foundry sand and waste tyre rubber on properties of Self-Compacting-Concrete (SCC) is carried out. Replacement of sand with used foundry sand as 10%, and 15% and replacement of coarse aggregate with waste tyre rubber as 5% and 10% is investigated. The results show that that utilization of used foundry sand and waste rubber tyre will increase the strength of the self-compacting concrete when compared with conventional concrete. But it should not exceed 15% of used foundry sand and 10% of waste tyre rubber.
