Using TDA underneath shallow foundations: simplified design procedure
Tire recycling and reuse in North America and worldwide have increased considerably, with the aim of reducing the harmful effects of scrap tires on the environment. Accordingly, the use of tire derived aggregates (TDA) in civil engineering applications is on the rise at an unprecedented rate. In comparison to conventional backfill aggregates, TDA is an inexpensive, lightweight material that costs about 25% of the cost of conventional backfill. Thus, there is an increasing trend of using TDA under shallow foundations as a lightweight backfill alternative. However, limited information exists for the design of shallow foundations built on TDA. Hence, the main objective of this paper is to develop a simplified design procedure for shallow foundations built over a TDA layer. Rigorous finite element models were developed and validated using field tests results. Subsequently regression analyses were used to develop the proposed ultimate bearing capacity equation, taking into account the granular layer thickness, TDA layer thickness, footing width, footing shape, footing depth, and the allowable settlement.
