“…After saturation of the sediments, the pond water was allowed to pass through the column by upward flow from the bottom and the discharge volume was measured at intervals of 10 minutes ( Figure 6.5) (Raicy & Elango, 2015c). Similar studies on clogging potential in landfill cover systems were done by Reddy et al (2008) and Reddy & Saichek (1998). They both used similar test setups.…”

“…While the increase is significant, the values reached are small, and they do not match those for free-draining granular soil. Therefore, for applications such as drainage layers in landfill construction (Reddy and Marella 2001) or in road and highway construction (Cetin et al 2006), either a higher percentage of GTR or larger scrap tire shreds is necessary. Alternatively using sub layers of 100% GTR may be necessary.…”

“…Extensive research has investigated the use of shredded and ground rubber tires as additives in construction materials (Moussa and El Naggar 2024). Applications include integrating tire rubber into local sandy soils for various construction purposes: building embankments (Bosscher et al 1992), serving as drainage layers in landfill sites (Reddy and Marella 2001), adding to hot mix asphalt pavements (Ganiron 2014), serving as a lightweight fill (Ravichandran and Huggins 2014;Abdullah et al 2023) and enhancing the dynamic properties of sand (Feng and Sulter 2000) and granular soils (Mittal and Gill 2018). Other applications include using recycled rubber material as the upper layer of playgrounds to improve overall flexibility, compressibility, and damping capacity (Rao and Dutta 2006;Kosmela et al 2024).…”

Managing waste tires presents a significant challenge globally, particularly in regions experiencing high temperatures and shortage of landfill sites. This issue is affecting countries like Kuwait, where the abundance of waste tires is a major source of environmental and safety risks, particularly during the intensely hot summer months. This extreme heat has sparked numerous fires, leading to substantial air pollution due to thick black smoke. Given the limited disposal options, recycling waste tires and finding practical applications for ground tire rubber (GTR) is essential. To address the challenge, a comprehensive laboratory testing program was conducted, using locally produced rubber aggregates as an additive to Kuwait's local surface sands. Two new variables were examined namely the size and gradation of the GTR, and the density of the compacted mixes. For this purpose, two different sizes of rubber aggregates, fine and coarse produced locally, were utilized, and the impact of relative compaction on the strength and compressibility of the mixtures was investigated by testing samples compacted to the maximum density and to 95% of the maximum density. The results suggest that combining local surface sands with rubber tire additives results in a lighter, more permeable, and compressible material, contributing significantly to sustainable waste management. With 20% rubber additive the maximum dry density decreased by nearly 20%, and the permeability increased by 1.74–3.11 times and the compression index increased by 6.15 and 3.8 times with fine and coarse rubber respectively. The angle of friction remained unchanged at 36° with the addition of coarse rubber and decreased by 3°–4° with fine rubber. The change in behavior although not an increase in the strength and stiffness, offers a range of suitable practical applications in civil engineering and environmental management, including use as a drainage layer, embankment construction on soft ground, earth fill around retaining walls, an additive in asphalt mixes, and in manufacturing compressible tiles for sports facilities.

“…Therefore these stages of the life cycle were not evaluated using the SimaPro program. Reddy et al (2006) The environmental sustainability analysis was conducted for five different cover system options including: (1) Subtitle D cover assuming clay was not obtained from a quarry or mine and existed in a stockpile on site, (2) Subtitle D cover assuming vegetative cover soil (silty loam) and clay obtained from a mine, (3) Subtitle D cover assuming silty loam and clay obtained from a quarry, (4) Biocover assuming tire shreds as the gas diffusion layer and (5) Biocover assuming gravel as the gas diffusion layer. The impact results simulated by SimaPro using the Eco-Indicator 99(E) V2.08 method for all the five scenarios are shown in Figure 2.…”

A life cycle analysis (LCA) was conducted in this study to evaluate the sustainability of using two different widely adopted cover system designs, the Subtitle D cover and the biocover. The two cover systems were designed according to RCRA regulations using a field validated, California Landfill Methane Inventory Model (CALMIM). The cover systems were designed for an IEPA-listed, active landfill site (Countryside Landfill Inc.) located in the Chicago Metropolitan area. Environmental sustainability analysis for the two cover system designs was performed using SimaPro (Version 7). Economic and social sustainability analysis was methodically performed for both the cover systems. Overall, this study showed that the biocover system is a more sustainable option when compared to the Subtitle D cover system by accounting for sustainability metrics involving the environmental, social and economical aspects.
