Evaluation of Shredded Tires as Backfill at Double Nickel Slide
A project involving the use of shredded tires as lightweight fill material for control of an active landslide was completed in the summer of 1995. The Double Nickel Slide is located along State Highway 28, at reference marker 55, 32 kilometers south of Lander, Wyoming. The slide repair consisted of a shift in the centerline alignment and construction of a lightweight embankment using shredded tires. The tire fill is the subject of a monitoring program by the Geology Program of WYDOT. Inclinometers were placed to detect possible movement along the original slide plane. A surveying program has been established to monitor settlement of the tires. Additionally, two thermistor strings, consisting of temperature probes, have been placed in the tire fill to monitor may rise in temperature indicative of an exothermic reaction. They have been measured monthly since December 1995. In August of 1996, the amounts of oxygen, carbon monixide, hydrogen sulfide and combustible gases were measured from the underdrain system within the tires. This paper summarizes the design, construction, and research monitoring of the Double Nickel Slide repair.
