Abstract
ABSTRACT There is a growing interest in reusing scrap tires in civil engineering applications. Previous studies have shown that there are many promising applications in civil engineering. In most of these applications, scrap tires are not used directly but are shredded to form a product referred to as tire-derived aggregate (TDA). Unlike most other civil engineering materials, TDA has not yet been subjected to sufficient experimental scrutiny to identify its physical properties. Most of the experiments conducted on TDA have been limited to small TDA shreds with no steel wires. This study aims to address this problem through a series of consolidated drained triaxial tests on TDA using a large-scale triaxial apparatus. The results of the tests are presented, discussed and fitted to empirical equations. In addition, an empirical hyperbolic material model that represents the test results has been developed based on the hyperbolic model of Duncan and Chang. .
