An investigation on the soil stabilization with waste tyres materials in granular soils
Journal Title: Aksaray University Journal of Science and Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this investigation is to research the improvement of sandy soils with additive materials. California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is commonly used to determine the characteristics of sandy soils which are improved by using additives. The CBR test estimates behavior of subbase and granular layers for flexible superstructures. Waste shredded tires are used as additives in accordance with the purpose of this study. A great majority of materials, which are considered as wastes in the world, consist of recyclable materials. Recycling these materials is imperative for being able to preserve environmental and natural balance, minimizing the damage inflicted upon nature and also for the country’s economy. The improvement of ground with additive materials has been widely used since it is more economical than other stabilization methods. Recently, usage of industrial waste materials as additive materials has become popular. Investigations on utilization of waste tires in geotechnical engineering are being carried not only in our country but also in the rest of the world.
