The main objective of the project is to cast and study the crumb rubber concrete for its compression and flexural strength. The addition of silica fume coated rubber crumbs to the concrete shows a phenomenal increase in compressive strength and flexural strength. This led to the additional trial of rubber plate embedded in concrete prism to improve the flexural strength. This plate is intended to act as a reinforcement to reduce the stress in the concrete element and in turn increase its flexural strength. The prism reinforced with rubber plates are tested for improved flexure strength. The rubber in the rubber plate is binded by two materials namely asphalt and cyanoacrylate. The rubber plates are prepared separately using procedures which are explained in detail in the further chapters. These plates are then laid on a layer of concrete which acts as cover block. This was tested and the results compared to experimentally prove the best suited ingredient
