One of the major causes of ecological and environmental problems comes from the\nenormous number of discarded waste tires, which is directly connected to the exponential growth\nof the worldâ??s population. In this paper, previous works carried out on the effects of partial or full\nreplacement of aggregate in concrete with waste rubber on some properties of concrete were\ninvestigated. A database containing 457 mixtures with partial or full replacement of natural\naggregate with waste rubber in concrete provided by different researchers was formed. This\ndatabase served as the basis for investigating the influence of partial or full replacement of natural\naggregate with waste rubber in concrete on compressive strength. With the aid of the database, the\npossibility of achieving reliable prediction of the compressive strength of concrete with tire rubber\nis explored using neural network modelling.
