Abstract: Concrete is a popular building material, and the construction industry is constantly expanding its usage and applications; thus, it is vital to discover alternative materials to minimise the cost of concrete supplies. Natural coarse aggregate, on the other hand, is mined from quarries, and as a result, these quarries will be depleted in a few decades if the pace of their usage continues at present rate. As a result, a lasting solution to this problem was required. The disposal of tyre elastic or shattered blocks for the production of cement has been considered as an alternative transfer of such waste to protect the environment. In this study, tyre rubber and broken bricks were employed as coarse material, with a 30 percent substitution for conventional aggregate. The compressive strength of concrete was measured at 7, 14, and 28 days, and a comparison between waste tyre rubber and waste broke brick was performed. After a 28-day comparison, the waste material with the highest strength is chosen as the best waste material replacement with aggregate.
Keywords: compressive strength, Tyre rubber, broken bricks
