Abstract

Mixing the tire shred and tire chips, derived from scrape tires, to sand is an option to use scrape tires. Based on the ASTM (2017) there is no environmental risk for embankments made from tire derived aggregates. In the past three decades several experimental investigation have been reported on the sand-rubber chips mixture behavior (Edil et al., 1990; Zornberg et al., 2004; Neaz Sheikh et al., 2012). Since the ration of area to thickness of chips is large, they tend to become horizontal when being mixed with the sand and subsequently would not be parallel to the probable failure surface of a foundation or a trench. This point has been investigated limitedly in the literature (Foose et al., 1996; Gotteland et al., 2005). In the present paper, an innovative mold is used to compact the sand-rubber chips mixture where the chips are inclined. The experimental program was carried out to investigate the effect of rubber chips orientation in the sand-rubber chips mixture.
