Utilization of rubber tyre waste in subgrade soil

Abstract

The management of scrap tires has become a growing problem in recent years. Scrap tires represent one of several special wastes that are difficult for municipalities to handle. Whole tires are difficult to landfill because they tend to float to the surface. Stockpiles of scrap tires are located in many communities, resulting in public health, environmental, and aesthetic problems .The paper presents the study carried out with crumb rubber tyre used in strengthening the subgrade. The Standard Proctor test carried out on black cotton soil showed moisture content and dry density as 18% and 2.43 respectively The CBR test has shown the range of values from1.16 to 1.54. Therefore it is suggested that the waste crumbed tyres can be safely used in the sub grade as a soil binder which will effectively hold the soil with increased strength values.

Physical Modelling of a Strip Footing on a Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Wall Containing Tire Shred Subjected to Monotonic and Cyclic Loading

“…The backfill was compacted in 2-cm layers with an optimum moisture content of 2.5% and a relative density about 70%. In all the tests containing the sand-tire shred mixture, the tire shred was used at a mass replacement rate of 7.5% with a rate in the range of 6% to 10%, as recommended by previous work [37,38]. Moreover, a greased transparent polyethylene plastic sheet was placed on both of the inner sides of the box to eliminate the effects of the sidewalls on the sample.…”

Experimental and numerical investigation of footing behaviour on multi-layered rubber-reinforced soil

“…To address the environmental concerns, the use of waste tires in the form of fibers, strips, chips, granulated, crumbed or shredded, are now considered as construction materials (Zhou et al, 2002;Tanchaisawat et al, 2010;Cagatay, 2012, 2013;Munnoli et al, 2013;Prasad et al, 2014;Keskin and Laman, 2014;Diambra and Ibraim, 2014;SolSánchez, 2015;Karabash and Cabalar, 2015;Moghaddas Tafreshi and Norouzi, 2015;Brara, 2016).…”
