Abstract:
This invention relates to the development of Crumb Rubber augmented masonry blocks. Crumb rubber is extracted from scrape tires after being processed and then mixed in specified percentages with concrete, cement and water. In the present disclosure sand, which is used in the formation of conventional blocks, is replaced with crumb rubber to produce a sand-free masonry block containing crumb rubber. The developed crumb rubber masonry blocks satisfied the ASTM non-load bearing requirements in addition to satisfying the water absorption test.
