Abstract:
The study of tire recycling is one of the core environmental aspects, as tires waste is a complicated substance and cannot be rid-of easily. For that reason, this paper concentrates on tires recycling principle and takes the tires substances of a specific size that is called (crumb rubber). The paper studies the advantages of using tires waste into concrete mixture and aims to address how tires waste can strengthen the characteristics of concrete such as improving its thermal conductivity and sound insulation priorities. The results of the study reached to a point that tires waste can work as a good thermal and sound insulator in concrete that will help in reducing the consumption of resources as fine aggregate
