Recycled tyres to replace concrete?

Washington June 15 : Are u traveling on a concrete road? Do you feel that the road is weak no problem the engineers of UBC engineers have developed a more resilient type of concrete using recycled tires.This concrete can be used for developing buildings, roads, dams, and bridges and this also reduces landfill waste.The researchers said that they have experimented with different proportions of recycled tire fibers and other materials which are used in making of concrete. They have used cement, sand, and water and also they have included 0.35 percent tire fibers.Generally, Recycled Rubber is used for making roads but for the first time they have used polymer fibers in making. Finally, the scientists have said that more tests are required to test the concrete before it is used full fledged.Let s hope that the new material comes out into the market soon so that the cost of infrastructure projects come down.
