Soil Stabilization with Waste Shredded Rubber Tyre Chips
Abstract: Soil stabilization means modification of the soil properties by the addition of any other material to meet the required engineering requirements. Construction engineering structures on the weak soils are considered to be unsafe. The load bearing capacity of these weak soils can be improved by means of various ground improvement techniques. Use of waste shredded rubber tyre chips in geotechnical engineering for enhancing the soil properties has received great attention …

Abrasion Resistant Produce from Slag Dust
Abstract: Steel slag is a by-product of steel manufacture such as to respect the achievement of one ton to liberate 160 kg of steel slag. Thereby chemical compounds content in slag dust of steel slag have been SiO2, CaO, Fe2O3, Al2O3, and MnO, whereas mineral components of steel slag have been C3S, C2S, C4AF, RO phase, and free-CaO. Steel slag has been applied in ceramics, road pavement materials, stockpile of mineral …

Influence of Rubber Particle Size on the Ductility and Energy Absorption of Structural Elements
Abstract: Abstract This research investigates how the rubber particle sizes influence the ductility and energy absorption of structural members made of RC. For this analysis, the different types of waste tire rubbers (with a grains size of 1–2 mm, 3–5 mm, and 6–10 mm) were partially replaced for fine aggre-gates. The compressive strengths, load-deflection behaviors, ductility ratios and energy dissipation properties are discussed by means of experimental mix design analysis and …

Functional Rubber Particles and Their Applications- A Review
Abstract: Functional rubber powders (FRPs) are emerging as a potential class of materials derived primarily from end-of-life tires (ELTs) and other rubber scraps through mechanical, cryogenic, or de-vulcanization methods. These powders act as high-performance additives or reinforcing fillers in various engineering applications due to their low cost, improved surface properties, customizable particle sizes, and ability to undergo further chemical reactions. This review provides an overview of the production technologies, focusing on …

A Study on Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregates with Crumb Rubber and Cement with Metakaolin
Abstract: Concrete, often referred to as man-made rock, consists of cement, aggregates, and water. Recent experimental studies have explored the strength characteristics of concrete by partially replacing fine aggregate with crumb rubber and cement with metakaolin. Concrete cubes were tested for compressive strength at 7 and 28 days, using various percentages of crumb rubber and metakaolin as replacements for fine aggregate and cement, respectively. The aim of the study was to …

Experimental Study of Concrete Using Crumb Rubber with Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregates
Abstract: The cost effective About one crore 10 lakhs all types of new vehicles are added all year to the Indian roads. The increase of about three crores discarded tyres each year stance a potential threat to the environment. The greatest way to overcome this problem is to catch alternative aggregates for construction. The proposed work presents an investigational study of result of use of solid waste material (crumb rubber) in …

Production and Evaluation of Composites Made from Waste Material and Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)
Abstract: A significant ecological concern that third-world countries are currently facing is the economically viable use of lignocellulose waste. In addition to reducing the cost of the composite, cellulosic fiber composites created from industrial waste would enable the efficient use of a waste material that is presently disposed of or burned. Recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate) was used in this work as a major phase (matrix) and industrial waste material was used …

Experimental Analysis on Generation of Electricity Through Braking System (Regenerative Braking System)
Abstract: In conventional braking system the motion is retarded or stopped by absorbing kinetic energy by friction, by making the contact of the moving body with frictional rubber pad (called brake liner) which causes the absorption of kinetic energy, and this is wasted in form of heat in surroundings. Each time we brake, the momentum of vehicle is absorbed that it has gained by it and to re-accelerate the vehicle. As …

Effects of Compatibilizer and Paper Sludge Content on the Performances of Thermoplastic Polymer Composites
Abstract: One of the environmental issues affecting third-world countries is the economic use of lignocellulose waste, which is now being researched. Paper sludge (PS) composites will allow for the effective use of a waste material that is currently burned or buried, as well as the ability to lower the cost of the composite that is created. In this study, the mechanical and thermalcharacteristics of environmentally friendly composites constructed from PS-reinforced recycled …
