Abstract

This research investigates the effect of adding recycled rubber to concrete mixes as part of efforts to enhance environmental sustainability and improve the mechanical properties of concrete. The study focuses on evaluating the mechanical and physical performance of rubberized concrete by analyzing its properties such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and workability. Partial replacement of rubber by 0% to 15% of fine aggregate in concrete was studied, with standard tests conducted to determine the effect of rubber on overall performance. The importance of the research lies in providing a dual solution of reducing environmental waste from used tires, while improving some properties of concrete in non-structural applications. The results show that rubberized concrete achieves important advantages such as improved flexibility, abrasion resistance, and light weight, despite a slight decrease in compressive strength. The research also highlights the potential of using rubberized concrete in non-structural applications such as pavements, road barriers, and shock absorption systems. The research concludes by recommending further studies to improve the adhesion between rubber and concrete mix components, while exploring innovative applications to expand the use of rubberized concrete in sustainable construction projects.

Abstract

This paper tries to find best option for generating electricity during shortage by main grid in Al-kut city so analysis has been made for the three choices the diesel generator (which currently used by the city), solar power plants, and thermal power plant the analysis involve the total cost, how much carbon dioxide emitted and the water consumption by each system during the operation time. The study aims to find what is the best system for ten years, so estimation has been done to find what will be the population size of Al-kut city in 2033.inresult has been included keep adopted diesel generators for avoid issue of main grid shortage supply is cost city a lot by fuel consumption and cost of operation, furthermore there is significant amount of co2 emitted during the ten years. On another hand the most sustainable option the city should employ is the solar plant which has economical total cost compared to the thermal plant which cost high by requiring fuel to run, the solar has lowest water consumption and almost zero co2 emission in addition the solar system is reliable than others.
