behavior of clayey soils mixed with tire chips
Authors
abstract
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%, and 30% tire chips in weight. the results of the tests indicate that shear strength and pore water pressure due to shearing depend on the amount of tire-chips and clay type. as dependent on the clay type used in the mixtures, there is an optimum content for tire-chips to mix with the clay.

cyclic behavior of mixed clayey soils
mixed clayey soils occur as mixtures of sand (or gravel) and clay in widely varying proportions. their engineering behavior has not been comprehensively studied yet. an experimental program, comprising monotonic, cyclic, and post-cyclic triaxial tests was undertaken on compacted clay-granular material mixtures, having different proportions of clay and sand or gravel. this paper presents the res...

Materials such as waste tire chips were widely used to improve the strength of soil. The objective of this study is to discuss the residual strength or steady-state behavior of sand-waste tire chip mixtures. A series of undrained monotonic triaxial compression tests were conducted on reconstituted saturated specimens of sand and sand-tire chip mixtures with variation in the tire-chip contents f...
full textFinite element/percolation theory modelling of the micromechanical behavior of clayey soils
A hybrid model for soils, which combines percolation theory and finite element method is presented. The internal soil structure is modelled via the finite element method, and percolation networks are used for analyzing its mechanical behaviour. Through a microscopic characterization of elastic properties of soil grains, the model is generated. The effective percolation threshold obtained is low...
full textCharacterisation of weathered clayey soils responsible for shallow landslides
Shallow earth translational slides and earth flows, affecting colluvial soils derived by the weathering of the clayey bedrock, are a recurrent problem causing damage to buildings and roads in many areas of Apennines. The susceptibility assessment, e.g. slope stability models, requires the preliminary characterization of these superficial covers (lithology, geotechnical and hydraulic parameters)...
full textPotassium status of two clayey calcareous soils treated with zeolite under wetting-drying cycles
Zeolite application to clayey soils may change potassium (K) pools distribution and its release rate. To test this hypothesis, two heavy-textured calcareous soils with different mineralogy (smectitic and mixed by XRD) from southern Iran were selected. Experiment was a completely randomized factorial arrangement. Treatments consisted of two soils and two zeolite levels (0 and 5%) and wetting-dry...
