Huge amount of rubber tyre waste is being generated day by day which creates the disposal problems and environmental issues. This paper presents an overview of the previous researches carried out on the use of waste rubber as partially replacement of natural fine and course aggregate in traditional concrete mixtures. This has the additional advantage of saving in natural aggregates used in the production of concrete which are becoming increasingly scarce. This research investigated a wide range of physical and mechanical properties of concrete containing recycled tyre aggregates, to assess its suitability as a construction material. The study show that despite of losses in strength, these type of concrete is useful for various applications which require medium or low compressive strength. Different properties like compressive strength, tensile strength, Workability were investigated and compared with ordinary concrete. The study also show that compressive strength of rubberized concrete can be increased by adding some amount of silica to it.
