swelling and consolidation properties of clayey soils reinforced with tire-chips

چکیده
excessive production and stockpile of scrap tires cause some environmental and sanitary risks throughout the world. to manage these materials, possible use of soil-tire mixtures has been recently propounded in civil engineering projects. a few studies previously have been conducted to evaluate behavior of clay-tire mixtures, while swelling properties, consolidation and settlement characteristics of this type of mixtures are not known admirably. for this purpose, a number of clay-tire chips mixtures were prepared (by adding 10%, 20%, and 30% tire-chips to the clay), and compaction and oedometric consolidation tests are carried out on them. the results show that adding tire-chips to the clay, reduces swelling potential of the mixtures, while the free swelling and swelling pressure of specimen consist of 30% tire-chips is negligible. also, size of the tire-chips may affect the values of free swelling and swelling pressure. in addition, the results of oedometric consolidation tests indicate that when the tire content increases, compression and swelling indices of the specimens decrease and increase, respectively. moreover, the settlement behavior of the specimens depends on the tire-chips content and size of the chips

behavior of clayey soils mixed with tire chips
recently, mixtures of clay-tire chips are used as construction material in civil engineering projects. with respect to the tending for using these materials, it is necessary to know their mechanical behavior. thereby, a number of undrained monotonic triaxial tests are carried out on the specimens of pure clay and clay-tire chip mixtures. mixed specimens prepared by mixing pure clay with 10%, 20...
متن کاملSwelling pattern of polypropylene fiber reinforced expansive soils
Expansive soils are considered to be the one of the highly problematic soil. These soils undergo large volume change based on the amount of moisture content.. Because of this behaviour, lightly loaded civil engineering structures founded on the expansive soils gets severely damaged. There are several mitigating techniques available to counteract the problems posed by the expansive soils. In rec...
متن کاملEffects of Glass-Fiber Reinforced Polymer and Waste Polypropylene Plastic Particles on Geotechnical Properties of Clayey Soils for Using Subgrade in the Pavement
The fine-grained soil including the problematic ones can cause many difficulties in project accomplishment. Settlement and swelling are among the problems of the fine-grained soils. The present study compared the effects of the polypropylene waste plastic (PWP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) on geotechnical properties of the clayey soils for the subgrade design. To this end, the PWP ...
متن کاملEffect of Crude Oil on Some Consolidation Properties of Clayey Soil
The study has been carried out with two broad objectives – to observe the effect of crude oil contamination on consolidation properties of soil and to predict the change in the properties in the form of mathematical correlation. The properties studied here are co efficient of compression (Cv) and compression index (Cc). Four types of naturally available soil (CH, CL, CI and SC) collected from d...
متن کاملThe Effect of Rice Husk Ash on Mechanical Properties of Clayey Soils Stabilized with Lime in the Presence of Sulphate
Geotechnical engineers, in many cases face with low strength or high swelling potential of clayey soils. Stabilization methods are used to improve the mechanical properties of this type of soils. Lime and cement are the most popular materials used in chemical stabilization of clayey soils. If sulphate exists in the stabilized clayey soil with lime, or if soil is exposed to sulphates, problems s...
متن کاملEngineering Properties and Shrinkage Limit of Swelling Soils in Greece
The existence of specific expansive minerals in the clay soil related to the climatological conditions, seasonable variation of rainfall precipitation (wet and dry periods) and fluctuation of water table in Mediterranean countries, has resulted to induce unexpected shrinkage and swelling movements with all the unfavourable consequences. It was observed that light industrial structures and small...
