“…It should be mentioned that, while the reported results for the MDUW are fairly consistent, a limited number of studies have reported either negligible or increasing trends for the OMC with respect to increasing the TDA content [42][43][44]. These unexpected trends may be attributed to TDA segregation (and hence TDA clustering) effects caused by inadequate soil-TDA mixing during sample preparation for the compaction test [19,39]. As such, in compiling our database for the present investigation, it was decided to include only those datasets which are consistent with the more unanimous 'OMC-decreasing' trend.…”

“…Given that empirical models/correlations are purely data-driven, their predictive capability is highly dependent on the database from which they are developed. Accordingly, to establish practical empirical models for the OMC and MDUW of soil-TDA blends, a large and diverse database of 100 soil-TDA compaction tests was gathered from the authors' previous publications [19,22,23,34,35] as well as other recent literature sources [15][16][17][36][37][38][39]. Detailed descriptions of the assembled database are presented in Tables 1 and 2.…”

This study aims at modeling the compaction characteristics of fine-grained soils blended with sand-sized (0.075–4.75 mm) recycled tire-derived aggregates (TDAs). Model development and calibration were performed using a large and diverse database of 100 soil–TDA compaction tests (with the TDA-to-soil dry mass ratio ≤ 30%) assembled from the literature. Following a comprehensive statistical analysis, it is demonstrated that the optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry unit weight (MDUW) for soil–TDA blends (across different soil types, TDA particle sizes and compaction energy levels) can be expressed as universal power functions of the OMC and MDUW of the unamended soil, along with the soil to soil–TDA specific gravity ratio. Employing the Bland–Altman analysis, the 95% upper and lower (water content) agreement limits between the predicted and measured OMC values were, respectively, obtained as +1.09% and −1.23%, both of which can be considered negligible for practical applications. For the MDUW predictions, these limits were calculated as +0.67 and −0.71 kN/m3, which (like the OMC) can be deemed acceptable for prediction purposes. Having established the OMC and MDUW of the unamended fine-grained soil, the empirical models proposed in this study offer a practical procedure towards predicting the compaction characteristics of the soil–TDA blends without the hurdles of performing separate laboratory compaction tests, and thus can be employed in practice for preliminary design assessments and/or soil–TDA optimization studies.
