An experimental study had made on waste product and utilizing it for manufacturing of concrete. The disposal of waste tires is becoming a major waste management problem in the world at the moment. Environmental concerns are also being raised against uncontrolled extraction of natural sand. In this essence, the present study aims to investigate the optimal use of waste tyre rubber crumbs as fine aggregate in concrete composite. A total of 85 cubes, cylinders and beam specimens were cast with the replacement of fine aggregate by shredded rubber crumbs with the proportion of 5, 10, and 15% by weight and compared with 21 conventional specimens. Fresh and hardened properties of concrete such as workability, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength were identified and finally it will suggest 10% replacement of waste tyre rubber aggregate with fine aggregate will gives optimal and safest replacement in concrete composites.
