Solid waste management is one of the major environmental concern in the United States. Over 5 billion tons of non-hazardous solid waste materials are generated in US each year. Out of which more than 273 million scrap tires (approximately 3.6 million tons) are generated each year. In addition to this, about 3 billion tires are stockpiled. Several studies have been carried out to reuse scrap tir...

Tyre wear is a complex phenomenon. It depends non-linearly on numerous parameters, like tyre compound and design, vehicle type and usage, road conditions and road sUliace characteristics, environmental conditions (e.g., temperature) and many others. Yet, tyre wear has many economic and ecological implications. The possibility to predict tyre wear is therefore of major importance to tyre manufac...

The application of recycle waste tires into civil engineering practices, namely asphalt paving mixtures and cementbased materials has been gaining ground across the world. This review summarizes and compares the recent achievements in the area of plain rubberized concrete (PRC), in details. Different treatment methods have been discussed to improve the performance of rubberized Portland cement ...

Using waste rubber in asphalt mixes has become a common practice in road construction. This paper presents the results of a study on the rheological characteristics of rubber-modified asphalt (RMA) concrete under static and dynamic loading conditions. A number of static and dynamic creep tests were conducted on RMA mix specimens with different rubber sizes and contents, and a series of resonant...

Chars produced from the pyrolysis of different waste materials have been investigated in terms of their use as a catalyst for the catalytic cracking of biomass pyrolysis gases during the two-stage pyrolysis-gasification of biomass. The chars were produced from the pyrolysis of waste tyres, refused derived fuel and biomass in the form of date stones. The results showed that the hydrocarbon tar y...

Tyre behavior plays an important role in vehicle dynamics research. Knowledge of tyre properties is necessary to properly design vehicle components and advance control system. For that purpose mathematical models of the tyre are being used in vehicle simulation models. The Magic Formula Tyre Model is a semi-empirical tyre model which describes tyre behavior quite accurately. The Magic Formula T...

The article presents research on the purification process of pyrolysis gas from hydrogen sulphide and CO2 which release waste tyre process. Pyrolysis, a for treating tyres to create priceless oil, coal, products, is gaining popularity, though. Chemically speaking, oil quite complex contains polar fractions as well almon, aromatic, heteroatoms. fuel properties reveal that it similar or light bur...
