Abstract: : Analysing the viability of employing recycled rubber tires in the construction industry, particularly for roof waterproofing applications, is the primary goal of this study. The goal of this project is to create a novel rubber-concrete mixture by adding calcium lignosulfonate (C20H24CaO10S2), a sustainable additive, and recycled rubber tire fragments. The goal is to increase concrete's ability to waterproof while encouraging environmental sustainability by reusing waste resources. To ascertain if the modified concrete is suitable for practical application in roofing systems, the study assesses its performance in terms of strength, durability, and water permeability. Index Terms - Waste tire rubber crumbs, Concrete, Water Absorption, Compressive Strength, Calcium Lignosulfonate, Eco-friendly Admixtures, Workability, Rubberized Concrete, Innovative Waterproofing Solutions.
