General note ABSTRACT<br/>Modernization and advancement in the technology enhances not only the human<br/>luxuries and comfort but also damages the environment. The use of vehicles in<br/>Pakistan is increasing day-by-day because of which disposal of solid waste to the<br/>landfills of used tyres is a serious issue to be solved for Pakistan Environmental<br/>Protection Agency (EPA). Still this industry faces enormous challenging conditions<br/>because of no any support from the government or any government agency for the<br/>recycling and reuse of waste tyre by products. Manually a large quantity of high<br/>strength steel fibers are being extracted from waste tyres, the main usage of this steel<br/>derived fibers from the tyres is the manufacturing new steel or iron alloys.<br/>This research study is focusing on the use of steel fibers extracted from waste tyres<br/>in concrete with different proportions to produce a concrete stronger than ordinary<br/>concrete, and cost effective. Various fiber reinforced concrete specimens were<br/>prepared and presented for testing the compressive and split tensile strength in the<br/>universal load testing machine. The addition of steel fibers was made to the concrete<br/>mix by dry weight of mix with 0% (conventional), 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%.<br/>Result shows that the compressive strength of concrete with 2.5% fibers improved<br/>up to 74%, whereas the tensile strength with 2% fibers improved up to 60%.<br/>However, keeping in view the workability of mix, the optimum proportion of waste<br/>tyres steel fibers is 1.5%. At the addition of 1.5% fibers improves compressive<br/>strength up to 60%, while indirect tensile strength improves to 32% as compared to<br/>the conventional concrete.<br/>
