Modern progress hinges on environmental and natural resource preservation. With the rapid production of next-generation cars, crumb rubber output is expected to rise. Unfortunately, burning and disposing of crumb rubber in landfills harms the environment. This investigation explores the potential use of crumb rubber in concrete, specifically as a fine aggregate. Concrete of M30 grade will be utilized for this study. Future steps involve creating cube, cylinder, and prism specimens, each cast with a unique mix proportion. After a 28-day curing period, these samples will undergo mechanical tests for compressive, flexural, and split tensile strength. Additionally, the density, permeability, and water absorption of CR concrete will be assessed. These findings will determine the optimal crumb rubber content and the overall efficiency of the concrete.
