Sand–scrap tyre chip mixtures for improving the dynamic behaviour of retaining walls
This paper presents the dynamic response of retaining wall models backfilled with different types of sand–tyre chips (STC) mixtures using shaking table tests. The STC mixtures with different tyre chips proportions, such as STC10, STC20, STC30, STC40, STC50 and STC0 (control test) were considered as backfill materials. A 600 mm retaining wall that is produced in a box this is certainly anchored on a shaking table that will produce dynamic excitations. According to the tyre chips content in sand, up to 50% to 65% reduction in wall displacements and 70% to 80% lowering of dynamic earth pressures were observed. The exploratory study reveals the seismic actions of a retaining wall with STC30 backfill over an retaining wall using conventional backfill.
