Abstract Concrete is a composite material composed of6570% of its volume with natural resources such as sand and crushed stones. Concrete industry is one of the major consumers of these natural resources. For sustainable development, these natural resources used in concrete should be replaced by alternative materials such as waste tyre rubber, ceramic tiles waste etc. Worldwide production of waste tyre is growing up due to rapid increase in the use of tyres in automobile industry. The disposal of waste tyres has become major problem even inIndia and most of the waste tyre rubber is used as a fuel in brick kilns and cement kilns. Unfortunately, this kind of usage is not environment friendly and hence the use of waste rubber in concrete has been thought as an alternative disposal method which is environment friendly. Similarly in recent constructions, the consumption of ceramic materials such as tiles is increasing day by day and a large quantity of the same is converting into wastage duringprocessing,transportingandfixingdueto its brittle nature. The use of this ceramic tile waste as aggregates inconcretecanreducethenegativeenvironmental effects and exhaustion of the natural resources. Hence, in this work both conventional coarse and fine aggregates are replaced by ceramic tile waste & waste tyre rubber in the proportions that yield optimum strength. Further, Concrete is knownto be brittle material whichhasmuchlowerstrengthin tension than in compression and the behavior of concrete can greatly be ameliorated by confining it with ties in order to achieve a ductile concrete. In this experimental study, the effects of confinement on the stress-strain behaviour of 100mm × 100mm × 200mm prisms of standard & high strength concrete(M40&M70grades)areinvestigated under the axial compression. Waste tyre rubber has been used as a replacement to both coarse aggregate and fine aggregate in proportion of 4% by weight in both grades of concrete mixes. In the same way, waste ceramic tile is used asa replacement to both coarse aggregate and fine aggregate with 4 percentage of replacement by weight in standard & high strength concrete mixes.Thelateraltiesof6mmdiametermild steel and 8mm diameter HYSD steel bars were used for confinement in both grades of concrete. The test specimens were provided with ties at different spacings. The test prisms
of specimens were cast with 0, 2, 3, 4, and 5 number of ties. Tests were conducted to determine fresh & hardened state properties such as slump, compressive strength, stress-strain behavior &confinement studies of prisms. A total of162 prism specimens of size 100 mm × 100 mm × 200 mm (81 no’s for M40 concrete & 81 no’s for M70 concrete) and 18 companion cube specimens of 100 × 100 ×100 mm size were caste and tested. Tests were conducted after 28 days of conventional water curing. Compressive strength was determined using companioncubes while stress-strainbehaviorwasdetermined using test prisms and from obtained results ductility factor, strain ratio and stress ratios were calculated.

Theloadcarryingcapacityofconcretespecimenswithtwo ties is found to be almost same as that of unconfined concrete.
