In this paper, the possibility of using fine scrap tyre rubber to improve mechanical properties soil subjected cyclic loading is addressed. Ground (0.1–0.8 mm) in various proportions (0, 9, 33% and 100% by weight) was mixed with a uniform river sand lean clay. Cyclic triaxial tests bender elements were executed observe behaviour materials also determine damping shear stiffness parameters. The r...

There is a lot of ongoing active research all over the world looking for various applications used tyre rubber, to increase its utilisation rate. One common incorporate rubber into concrete as partial replacement conventional aggregates. However, due poor bonding performance with cement paste, in has been hindered date. A cost-effective and time-saving pre-treatment method great interest, espec...

This paper describes extensions to the widely used TNO MF-Tyre 5.2 Magic Formula tyre model. The Magic Formula itself has been adapted to cope with large camber angles and inflation pressure changes. In addition the description of the rolling resistance has been improved. Modelling of the tyre dynamics has been changed to allow a seamless and consistent switch from simple first order relaxation...

natural rubber/fiber composites were prepared in a laboratory mixer using new and waste short nylon fiber by a one-step mixing process. fiber loading and bonding agent effects on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites were studied. the cure characteristics of composites were investigated by using rheometer. cure and scorching times of the composites decreased while maxim...

Up-to-date predictive rubber friction models require viscoelastic modulus information; thus, the accurate representation of storage and loss components is fundamental. This study presents two separate empirical formulations for complex moduli materials such as rubber. The majority found in literature are based on tabulated dynamic testing data. A wide range experimentally obtained used this stu...

The feasibility of using large rubber chunks from shredded tires as aggregates in coldmixes for road construction was investigated in this study. The research was directed toward development of a chunk rubber asphalt concrete mix design for low volume road construction using local aggregate, shredded tire rubber chunks and a cationic emulsion. A set of mixes using different combinations of chun...
