Synopsis

The growing interest in utilizing waste materials in Civil Engineering applications has opened the possibility of reinforced soil structures like roads and embankments with unconventional backfills. Conventional construction materials used in foundations can encounter serious durability problems in contaminated subsurface or marine environment. In the present study, the shredded pieces of tyre have been used as randomly oriented and distributed to modify the strength characteristics of a clayey soil. Randomly distributed shredded tyres maintain strength isotropy and chances of development of potential plane of weakness are reduced. Scrap tyres is a lightweight waste material potentially suitable for harsh environment due to its chemical and corrosion resistant properties. The engineering behavior of soil-tyre mixture has been determined by conducting the tests such as Standard Proctor test and California Bearing ratio test. The results of laboratory study consisting of tests are presented here. The Standard Proctor and California Bearing ration test have been conducted on virgin soil as well as on soil mixed with randomly distributed tyre pieces amounting to 5, 10 and 15% of weight of dry soil. The results indicate that improvement in strength of soil can be obtained using shredded tyres as reinforcing material. The potential uses for soil-tyre mixture as lightweight, highly porous artificial material are also discussed.
