Abstract :

Solid waste management has become one of the major challenges in metropolitan areas. Alternative methods for the management of solid waste can also be followed. In the light of these circumstances, an attempt has been made to explore the capacity for the re-use of rubber tyre, plastic and rice husk waste materials as fibre composites in concrete. The aim of the analysis is therefore to recognize the mechanical and structural properties of local and waste materials as composites in terms of compressive strength, tensile strength and flexure strength to improve seismic resistance. Since the materials used in this research work are locally accessible, a thorough study using various test and analytical techniques is required. The impact of the percentage of rural fibres, including rubber tyre fibres, plastic fibres and rice husk fibres, on the mechanical properties of concrete was studied in this study and has been found to be highly useful.
