Redundant tires in concrete mix and concrete products

Abstract

A concrete product having redundant tires and concrete mix is disclosed. The concrete product comprises a dry mix concrete, and redundant tires. The redundant tires include fine particles or small pieces of waste rubber or tires. The redundant tires are shredded to pass 2 millimetre sieve. The weight of the redundant tires is selected to be about two percent of the weight of the dry mix concrete. The redundant tire particles (passing 2 mm sieve) and the dry mix concrete are mixed, casted and cured for a predefined time period for obtaining a concrete block of a predefined compressive strength. The concrete product is used for making building, roadways, or constructional elements such as concrete masonry unit blocks, autoclaved aerated concrete blocks, cast-in-situ, precast concrete, Oregon barriers, Sandcrete, concrete tetrapods, composite asphalt, curb stones, interlocking tiles. The construction material helps in significant environmental benefits resulting from removing waste rubber while utilizing the waste rubber beneficially.
