Investigating the Mechanical and Durability Performance of Concrete with Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate and Cement Using Waste Tire and Sugarcane Husk Ash

Key Points

• Mechanical performance improves with optimal partial replacement of coarse aggregate and cement, enhancing durability.
• Concrete with 20% waste tire and 10% sugarcane husk ash shows improved strength characteristics compared to traditional mixes.
• Observational analysis using a series of standard tests on concrete samples reveals significant enhancements in durability metrics.
• Supports sustainability in construction by utilizing waste products, with further studies needed to explore long-term implications.
