Abstract

This paper presents the result of the effectiveness of used tire wall barriers for controlling ground vibrations.About 90% volume of used tire are recycled effectively, however, almost of them are used to the purpose of thermal recycle as fuel. The pollution of CO2 by fuelling, therefore, is the source of global warming in the world.By the way, vibration arising from road and railway traffics, construction works, and factory machines propagates through soil resulting in a ground vibration in their neighborhood. Such ground vibration as well as psychologically adverse effects on the inhabitants around its source.Field measurements were performed for a few cases having different types of used tire walls. Vibration level as registered on the off-side of the used tire wall barrier was found to be 5-12 dB lower than that recorded at the site with no such barrier.
