Properties of Sand–Rubber Tyre Shreds Mixtures for Seismic Isolation Applications
Abstract Disposal of scrap rubber tyres is a big challenge and a serious environmental problem. In India, it is estimated that one waste tyre per person is produced annually. The percentage of recycling is very less when compared to the stockpiling every year. It is widely known that the rubber is a good damping material. Consequently, there is a big scope for the usage of this scrap rubber for earthquake engineering purposes. The present study involves the characterization of sand–rubber tyre shreds mixtures for the application in seismic base isolation of low-rise buildings. The sand–rubber tyre shreds mix is characterized with respect to dynamic properties for various percentages of rubber tyre shreds such as 0, 10, 30, 50 and 100% by weight. In this regard, a series of cyclic triaxial tests were carried out to evaluate strain-dependent moduli and damping of the mixtures. It was found that 10% sand–rubber tyre shreds mixture yielded satisfactory dynamic properties required for seismic isolation of low-rise buildings.
