摘要:The river sand is one of the unavoidable ingredients in Civil Construction. The Construction activitiesare increasing day by day. This usage of river sand is increasing its scarcity and its price in all parts of the country.Reducing the consumption of river sand in construction is a major issue while considering the Economic view. It alsohelps to save the environment by reducing the harmful impact of sand mining. The Discarded vehicle tyres which arehistorically been disposed of into landfills constitute an important part of the solid waste. Tyre disposal to landfills isproblematic, as waste rubber is not easily biodegradable. An emerging field for the reuse of scrap tyres is in theproduction of concrete, where rubber tyres can be used as a partial replacement to natural aggregates. This has theadditional advantage of saving in natural resources. In this study, an attempt has been made to control theenvironmental pollution and to save the natural resources by using the discarded rubber tyres for partial replacement forcoarse aggregates and Copper slag for the partial replacement for fine aggregates.
