Mechanical Properties of Scrap Tire Crumbs-Clayey Soil Mixtures Determined by Laboratory Tests by ShanShan Li, Dayong Li

“…The results show that (1) the maximum dry unit weight and the corresponding optimum moisture content of the mixtures decrease rapidly with the increase of scrap tire crumbs content (CSTC), showing good potential for using the mixtures as lightweight fill material; (2) it is not possible to prepare the mixture when CSTC exceeds 30% due to the occurrence of cracks in the mixture after removing from a mould; and (3) the shear strength of mixtures approximately increases by 20% when CSTC is up to 30%, while the residual strength decreases by 15%, compared with that of pure clayey soil. …”
