    The automotive industry's globalization and the widespread adoption of cars as primary transportation modes have spurred significant advancements in tire manufacturing. Consequently, a surplus of used tires has accumulated in recent years. Concurrently, there has been a shift towards evaluating tire life cycles and developing robust recycling and recovery programs. The potential for repurposing used tires as a valuable resource has become a critical consideration. In response to environmental concerns stemming from tire disposal, researchers have conducted numerous experiments exploring the effects of incorporating crushed rubber tires into concrete mixtures. These endeavors aim to enhance concrete properties while promoting sustainability through recycling. This burgeoning interest in "green concrete" production underscores the importance of investigating waste rubber's applications across various concrete types. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of waste rubber utilization in diverse concrete formulations. Drawing insights from 60 previous studies, the multifaceted impacts of rubber waste on concrete properties were elucidated. This investigation encompasses assessments of compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, density, elastic modulus, and workability parameters through slump, V-funnel, and L-box tests. Through this synthesis, we contribute to a deeper understanding of the potential and limitations of incorporating waste rubber in concrete production, highlighting avenues for future research and practical implementation.
