This document summarizes an experimental investigation into the effects of partially replacing cement with fly ash in rubberized concrete. Concrete mixes were prepared with 0%, 10%, and 20% fly ash replacement of cement and 5% rubber replacement of coarse aggregate. Testing showed that workability decreased with rubber and 10% fly ash but increased with 20% fly ash. Compressive strength initially decreased but then increased with higher fly ash percentages. The study aims to promote more sustainable concrete production by utilizing waste materials like rubber and fly ash.

2.  The results of an
experimental investigation
to study the effects of
partial replacement of
cement with flay ash in
rubberized concrete.
 Percentage of rubber used
in this study was 5%,
replaced with coarse
aggregate.
 Fly ash varies from 0-20%,
replaced with cement.
 Grade of concrete M20.

3.  Concrete is one of the main component in any concrete
masonry construction
 Concrete composes of cement ,fine aggregate, coarse
aggregate
 Researches have shown that these components can be
replaced to some extent by fly ash, rubber, plastic,
stone dust etc..,

4.  Growth of cement usage leads to the greater
production of CO gas which is one of the major cause
for GLOBAL WARMING

5. Excavation of sand and stones from river banks is one of
the main cause for disasters caused due to FLOODS

6.  Rubber from scrap tyres is one of the most recent waste
materials investigated for its potential use in
construction industry.

7. FLY ASH
 Fly ash is finely divided residue obtained from the
combustion of powdered coal
 CLASS F fly ash from thermal power plants collected
and is used for about 5%to 20%to replace cement.
 10% and 20% replacement of cement specimens have
been prepared.

9. CEMENT
 Ordinary Portland cement (53 grade) Ultratech cement
is used.
COARSE AGGREGATE
 Normal coarse aggregate of 20 mm size is used.

10. FINE AGGREGATE
 River sand which is available locally is used as fine
aggregate for entire process.

11. GRADE OF CONCRETE
 The mix is targeted for M20 grade(Nominal mix).
WATER-CEMENT RATIO
 Water-cement ratio is be taken as 0.45.

21.  The workability decreases when we replace coarse
aggregate with 5% rubber and cement by 10% fly
ash
 Again the workability increases as greater
percentage of fly ash increases the workability
 The strength of concrete decreases with increase in
percentage of fly ash first and again increases as
the percentage of fly ash increases.
