Feasibility Study to Produce Sound Barrier Brick Using Crumb Rubber

The wastes from automobile tires are increasing day by day. Some of them are reused in pavement material. Rubbers cannot be burned otherwise it will cause environmental issues. The dumping areas are insufficient as the wastes are increasing, led to mosquito breeding cases. In conjunction with tha...
