Tire Chips as Lightweight Backfill for Retaining Walls. Phase 2
Waste tires cut into 25 to 305-mm (1 to 12-in.) pieces yield a material that is coarse grained, free draining, and has a low unit weight, thus offering significant advantages for use as retaining wall backfill. This project is a continuation of Phase I, in which the engineering properties of tire shreds were determined. The purpose of this project was to determine design criteria for using tire shreds as retaining wall backfill. This was done by testing a granular control fill and tire shreds from three suppliers in a full scale retaining wall test facility. Tests were performed for at-rest and active conditions.
