| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Simcoe County | | City: | Barrie, ON | | School: | St. Monicas School | | Abstract: | This project investigated how adding scrap tires to concrete would affect its compressive strength and usability. The conclusion was that by replacing only 10% of the stone used in all concrete poured in Canada with scrap tire pieces, all of Canada's excess scrap tires could be disposed of each year. |
