In this research work, the strength and microstructure of chipped rubber-based compressed concrete have been investigated. Chipped rubber has been utilized as an option over coarse aggregate. Chipped rubber at normal instance decreases the durable properties of concrete but the combination of compression testing as well as chipped rubber replacement can significantly affect the strength of the material. During the study, coarse aggregate has been replaced at 0-50% with chipped rubber. The freshly prepared concrete has been condensed in a specially designed mould and after that compression casting technique has been applied. Samples of both compressed chipped rubber as well as uncompressed chipped rubber have been prepared and then examined further for compressive strength, split tensile strength, and abrasion resistance. Microstructures of conventional concrete, compressed rubber concrete, and uncompressed rubber concrete, has also been analyzed. The results show that the concrete with replacement by 20% of chipped rubber gives the significant results for compressive strength and split tensile strength. This proposed method should be implemented by the concrete industry from an environmental point of view.
