Concrete mix design for the production of pavers with recycled tire material in the province of Huancavelica

Abstract

This research work allows the analysis of the replacement of recycled rubber material in the design of a paving stone that meets mechanical characteristics, compared to paving stones found in the construction market, through the use of a concrete mixture that uses tire dust in a certain proportion as fine aggregate. End-of-life tires are harmful to health, as well as to the environment, due to the irrational use they have been given for many years in countries such as Peru, which is why this research aims to minimize the damage caused by them, as a primary material in a concrete mix for the production of paving stones. Finally, in general terms, it can be concluded that it is feasible to use 25% by weight of tire powder of random size (random), since it does not deteriorate the characteristics of the concrete, it also makes it lighter and at the same time it helps to reduce the negative effects generated by rubber waste in the environment.
