Use of scrap tire derived (STD) geomaterials in geotechnical engineering applications has received growing interest to prevent creation of wastes and conserve natural resources towards achieving sustainability. STD geomaterials and their mixtures with soils are being used in highway embankments, retaining walls, landfills and other applications as lightweight fill, backfill, compressible inclusion, vibration absorber, and drainage material. The use of STD geomaterials in these applications has been affirmed by characterization of the engineering properties based on laboratory tests and performance assessment based on physical model studies. This paper provides a review of engineering properties of STD geomaterials and their mixtures with soil (predominantly sand) based on published studies. Further, laboratory model and field studies on typical applications of STD geomaterials/mixtures such as retaining walls, foundations, embankments, and landfills are discussed. Overall, STD geomaterial alone or sand mixed with optimal STD content of 30–40% by weight has been shown to be effective for geoengineering applications.read more

TL;DR: Compacted soil-PWT mixtures comprising 5-25 wt% PWT have relatively low dry unit weight, low compressibility, adequate shear capacity for many load-bearing field applications, and satisfactory adsorption of organic/inorganic contaminants, such that they could also be used as adsorptive fill materials.

Damage to geomembrane liners from tire derived aggregate
B.A. Marcotte,I.R. Fleming +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of point loading on a geomembrane placed below a tire-derived aggregate (TDA) was investigated and the authors concluded that for different reasons, gravel and TDA both require effective protection layers of soil or heavy nonwoven geotextile to ensure long-term performance.
