ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF TIRE/SOIL MIXTURES AS A LIGHTWEIGHT FILL MATERIAL
This paper presents the engineering properties of shredded tires, Ottawa sand, and a mixture of 50 percent Ottawa sand and 50 percent shredded tires by volume (70 percent Ottawa sand and 30 percent shredded tires by weight). The maximum size of the tire ships used was 4.75 mm. Gradation, specific gravity, void ratio, density, permeability, and consolidated-drained (CD) triaxial tests were performed as part of the testing program. Although the data obtained were limited to the above three mixes, the results indicate that the use of shredded tires/Ottawa sand mixes as a lightweight fill material is very promising. However, long-term impact of leachates from tires on groundwater quality should be investigated.
