Waste tires pose significant environmental, health, and fire risks. Creative waste management solutions, including reuse, recycle repurpose, are necessary to mitigate those impacts while enriching their valorisation. An innovative solution is the upcycling of recycled steel fibre (RSF) from enhance strength durability concrete. This study thus experimentally examines dynamic mechanical behaviours high-strength concrete with varying proportions RSF, 0% 1.2% by volume. The results reveal that RSF exhibits best improvement in strengths. In addition, damping ratio, modulus SEM images confirm valorisation potentials fibres. Via a robust critical lifecycle analysis, new insights form sustainable design carbon credited application framework for RSF. Our portray recycling practices end-of-life yield substantial environmental benefits, emission reduction.
