Abstract Tyre manufacturing over the world has increased as the automobile industry has rapidly grown. The waste tyre disposal is very time consuming and environmentally damaging process. Even though it is frequently disposed of in landfills, issues with supply and demand mean that the shortage and lack of available landfill space is very big concern. The fundamentals ferrocrete is used in the construction of structures. Mix of sandandcementthemanufactureofaggregatesfromstone Quarries are also a major source of environmental degradation. Thus, the goal of the project; the purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of varying the quantities of crumb rubber replacing sand content in ferrocretemixes.Inordertoenhancedifferentpercentages ofglassfibrehaveacompressivestrengthincludedintothe mix of cement. In this study, the primary objective is to discover replacing the old rubber with a new type of rubberCementferrocreteaggregatesaremixedwithglass fibres. Finally, the product will have excellent engineering qualities.
Ferrocement is a flexible building material with unique structuralfeatures.It'sacompositemadeoftightlywound wiremesharoundskeletalsteelandrichcementmortar.
It is made of welded mesh, mild steel angles or bars, and reinforced by chicken mesh, square mesh or expanded metal.1:1.5to1:4mortarmixbyvolumeFerrocementcan beusedto buildfoundations,wallpanels,floors,roofpanel, ornamental structures,shells, etc. They are thin walled, durable,ductile, light weight, strong, and impermeable. It combines the strength of steel with the mouldability of ferrocrete, is lightweight and easy to work with, and has high tensile strength of pre stressed ferrocrete and crack control. Ferrocement requires no formwork or shuttering. Ferrocement has transformed RCC into a homogenous, ductile composite. This is because continuous meshes of fine steel wires replace steel bars. It has strengthened the link between wires and mortar such that wires break but are not pulled out of the matrix. Steel and mortar are boundtogetheruntilsteelyields,providingductilitytothe composite. The structure may flex or deflect but will not fail.

I. INTRODUCTION
Thenumberofunusablewastetiresfromdifferentkinds of vehicles is rapidly growing and is in fact turning out as oneofthemajorecologicalandenvironmentalproblemsof the present day. Nearly one billion waste tires are discarded each year and are predicted to be almost 1.3 billion per year by 2025. Large amount of waste tyre rubber accumulate in the world every year ,and the easy process to decompose the rubber is by burning but because of burningof rubberalargeamount ofsmokeand pollution is generated. Another method to dispose waste rubberisbylandfill,butnowdaysavailabilityandcapacity oflandfillplacesdecreases
A expanding global automobile industry and a growing preference for automobiles as a mode of transportation haveresultedinadramaticincreaseintyremanufacturing over the last several decades. As a result, massive stockpiles of old tyres have been created. In the early 2010s,extensiveresearchwasconductedonthenumerous applicationsof recycledtyres.Atroomtemperature,scrap tyre is composed of non biodegradable components. They almostalwayshaveanegativeimpactontheenvironment. One way to put these resources to use is to incorporate themintoferrocreteandotherbuildingmaterials.
The following macroeconomic aspects should be contrasted and considered when evaluating the use of these materials in ferrocrete. The cost of collecting, processing, and transporting scrap tyres reduced environmentalexpensesandincreasedlandfillvoidsresult inanincreaseinlandfillvoids.Bysubstitutingtyrerubber for original materials in the manufacture of ferrocrete; rubber waste is extremely durable and resistant to most natural environments. As a result, proper tyre recycling is critical, as improper disposal can have serious environmentalandaestheticconsequences.

In Indigent countries, where this is especially true, used tyre management is primarily governed by environmental regulations.FollowingtheimplementationofnumerousEU directives, reuse and material recovery are now regarded as the most environmentally sound waste management methods. The amount of waste glass has increased in recentyearsasaresultofincreasedindustrializationanda rapidriseinthestandardofliving.Asaresult,asignificant amount of waste glass is discarded rather than recycled, resulting in environmental and natural resource loss and pollution. Ferrocrete's brittle nature can be softened by addingfibreswithshortlengthsandsmalldiameters.
Sustainabilitycanbedefinedastheabilitytousedepleting nonrenewable resources indefinitely while also retaining depletingrenewableresources.Sustainabilityisoneof the moststudiedbutleastunderstoodconceptsontheplanet.
For the majority of countries, organizations, and individuals who consider its significance, sustainability entails the preservation of the Earth and critical issues related to development, such as stable economic growth, productive resource utilisation, poverty eradication, and consistent social advancement. In the coming years, sustainable construction expects to meet current prerequisites for a working situation, housing, and infrastructure without sacrificing people's capacity to address their issues. According to researcher’s writing, the current state of the construction industry is unsustainable. In the industry, sustainable construction could be accomplished by substituting strong recycled productsfornormalcrushedstonein ferrocrete.However, the use of conventional coarse aggregates undermines sustainability by causing additional environmental issues. According to the India Farmer's Welfare and Horticulture Ministry, over 2390 billion were formed in India in 2016 2017, which will increase farming waste accumulation. Thus, the successful use of agricultural wastes as a substitute for traditional aggregates contributes to the preservation of non renewable resources, reduces energy consumption, and lowers construction material costs. The authors used a variety of scrap materials in their ferrocrete,includingrecycledaggregate,flyash,silicafume wasteelastictyre,andGGBFSandwasteandglassplastics. They also used tobacco wastes, coconut shell, rice husk ash,palmshell,pistachioshell,andoilpalmshell.
Aside from cement, aggregate is a major component of ferrocrete.Fineaggregatesareobtainedfromriverbedsor weathering of rocks into dust, whereas coarse aggregates are formed by crushing of stones. Waste tyres are
currently a major problem all over the world. Because waste tyres decompose slowly and take over a century to disintegrateatambienttemperature,theycanbereusedin landfilling.Thesetyresrubberarecutintosmallandlarge pieces for the reduction or reuse of waste tyres. Crumb rubber(C.R.)ismade bycuttingup oldtyres.Large pieces are considered coarse crumb rubber, while small pieces are considered fine crumb rubber; in ferrocrete, these are replaced with coarse aggregate and fine aggregate, respectively. Crumb rubber from tyre waste, reduced to a veryfinesize,wasusedasafineaggregateinthisresearch paper. The amount of crumb rubber is calculated as a percentageofthefineaggregateweightas2.5percent,5.0 percent, 7.5 percent, and 10.0 percent replacement. ferrocrete mixes are used to cast cubes, beams, and cylinders & Panels for various laboratory tests. Slump variation, compressive strength, compressive strength tests are performed in the laboratory According to research, increasing the percentage of crumb rubber & glassfiberreducesstrength.
One of the most concerning issues in the early stages of GRC development was the durability of the glass fibres, whichbecamefragileovertimeduetothealkalinityofthe cement mortar. Significant progress has been made since then, and the problem is now practically solved thanks to new types of alkali resistant glass fibres and mortar additives that prevent the processes that cause GRC embrittlement. The lighter weight and higher tensile strengthofGRCcomparedtoferrocretepromptedarecent research programme to investigate its viability as a structural material. The study was conducted in collaborationwithferrocreteprecastcompanies,forwhom the improved characteristics are particularly appealing becausetheprecastelements'reducedweightiscriticalfor transportation and installation. Reinforcement systems, such as carbon or glass strands and stainless steel bars, were also investigated in order to obtain a GRC with high durability, resulting in corrosion free solutions. Although some of the average mechanical properties of GRC are known and are currently used for nonstructural elements, a much more thorough characterization is required when structural design is considered. The mechanical strength, Young's modulus, creep and shrinkage behaviour, and stress strain diagrams of GRC specimens were then determined through experimental tests. The experimental tests had to consider cementitious matrix with various plainmortarproductions,varioustypesofglassfibres,and reinforced with carbon or glass strands or steel elements, as the material characteristics were highly dependent on the production procedures. These tests resulted in a characterizationofthemanufacturingconditions,allowing fortheoptimizationofmaterialproperties.

This leadsferrocrete4tobecomemorehomogeneous.Itresults in improving the properties of ferrocrete in tension, flexure,impactresistanceandcrackresistance.
Crack control:
Closely spaced fine wires, very near to the surface of ferrocrete, act as crack arrestors. In conventional reinforced ferrocrete the bars are spaced some distance apart and the ferrocrete in between them is prone to temperature expansion and contraction. This tendency is overcome by the tension taking member fully bonded to mortarandspacedverytothesurfaceofferrocrete.
Equal strength in both directions:

Containment off mortar matrix in mesh layers:
In ferrocrete, layers of wire meshes tightly tied together areimpregnatedwithcementmortar.Thematrixisheldby the meshes in between and is contained by them. In RCC, steel bars are encased in ferrocrete while in ferrocrete layers of wire meshes encase the mortar and hold it bonded strongly. Thus there would not be sudden brittle failureofferrocreteelement.Incaseoftestuptofailureor in the case of sudden shock loading like earthquake, the member will undergo large deflection with adequate warning.
Formless construction:
Tightly tied meshes in ferrocrete can hold wet cement mortar when it is press filled in them.

Methodology and preparation
Cement
Cement used in construction is categorized as hydraulic ornon hydraulic.Hydrauliccement(e.g.,Portlandcement) harden because of heat of hydration, chemical reactions that occur independently of the mixture's water content; they can harden even underwater or when constantly exposedtowetweather.Thechemicalreactionthatresults when the anhydrous cement powder is mixed with water produces hydrates that are not water soluble. Non hydrauliccements(e.g.,limeandgypsumplaster)must be kept dry in order to retain their strength. The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and ferrocrete. The bonding of natural or artificial aggregates to form a strong building material that is durable in the faceofnormalenvironmentaleffects.
Aggregates
“Fine aggregate” is defined as material that will pass through 4.75mm sieve and will, for the most part, be retainedona1.18mmsieve.Forincreasedworkabilityand for economy as reflected by use of less cement, the fine aggregateshouldhavearoundedshape.
Mix Proportion
Ordinary portland cement and river sand passing through No. 8 (2.38 mm) sieve and having a fineness modulus of 2.72 were used for casting. In design mix proportion 40% cement replace with combination of fly ash and GGBS with different proportion. The geopolymer mortar used in this study is composed of low calcium fly ash and alkaline solution composed of NaOH and sodium silicatecombinations.NaOHismixedwithdeionizedwater atarequiredconcentration(12M)andkeptforatleast24h prior to casting. All geopolymer mortar specimens were madewithsand to geopolymerratioinequalproportion.
The cement, fly ash and fine aggregate were dry mixed together in a mixer machine for 5 min.
