Eshmaiel et al. (2009) investigated on the usage of tire rubber as an aggregate and as filler in concrete. Chipped rubber was used for coarse aggregate replacement and powdered rubber was used for cement replacement in concrete in 5%, 7.5% and 10% by weight. It was observed that, up to 5% replacement, the mechanical properties were similar to the control mix and beyond that, there were considerable differences. Al-Mutairi et al. (2010) explained that the use of 5% silica fumes in rubberized concrete helped to minimize the loss in compressive strength at elevated temperatures. At elevated temperature of above 400 C, the compressive strength was similar to that of control concrete. Guleria and Dutta (2011) explained that the unconfined compressive strength of rubberized concrete can be increased by treating the tire chips with carbon tetrachloride and sodium hydroxide.
