Rubber Waste Makes Concrete Less Brittle

The concrete conventionally used for construction uses cement with a mix of sand and limestone. However, conventional concrete is brittle,rigid, and prone to forming cracks. A researcher in Gujarat Forensic Sciences University (GFSU), Parth Prajapati, has come up with a method to dispose of rubber waste, make concrete better, and fill the gap created by the shortage of sand in one stroke. During his study, he has also developed a low-cost method of testing concrete durability, and GFSU is helping him to obtain a patent for his method.
