Abstract	Recycling tire rubber in concrete is a means of eliminating environmental pollution and reducing costs. This study aimed to use waste tire rubber as a replacement for fine and coarse aggregates at different replacement ratios (10%, 15%, and 20% for fine aggregate; 10%, 20%, and 30% for coarse aggregate; and 20% and 30% for mixed aggregates). The results showed that replacing fine rubber at 10% and 15% reduced the compressive and tensile strengths of concrete to an acceptable degree, while replacing it at 20% significantly reduced the strength. For coarse aggregate, rubber replacement reduced the compressive and tensile strengths of concrete compared to the reference mixture, and the higher the coarse rubber replacement ratio, the greater the reduction in strength. Using 20% and 30% as a retarder for mixed aggregates reduced the strength. Increasing the percentage of rubber aggregate resulted in a decrease in the density and weight of concrete. Overall, the results indicate that adding rubber affects the mechanical properties of concrete, resulting in reduced compressive and tensile strength, but may also improve other properties such as thermal and acoustic insulation.
