The use of rubber-sand mixture (RSM) cushion in geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI)
systems is an emerging technique for protecting buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The …

In this paper, a newly developed 3-dimentional discrete element model (DEM) for gravel-
rubber mixtures (GRMs), namely DEM4GRM, that is capable of accurately describing the …

A CT image-based discrete element model (DEM) incorporating the realistic particle
morphology of sand grains was developed to investigate the micro-mechanical behaviours …

Particle surface morphology is an important factor influencing sand structure and
mechanical properties. In this study, the effect of sand particle sphericity on sand direct …

Replacing natural aggregates in concrete with waste rubber particles is an effective method
to solve environmental problems, but the use of rubber due to its unknown characteristics …

This paper presents a study on mitigating the degradation of ballast by placing an under-
sleeper rubber pad (USP) beneath a sleeper. Large-scale track process simulation …

As a sustainable solution, embedding rubber inclusions in the semi-rigid pavement base
course can ensure the consumption of a large amount of waste tire pollution and improve …

Abstract Rubber–soil mixtures (RSM), formed by mixing two types of granules with vastly
different mechanical properties, has the potential for serving as a cost-effective substitute for …

Considering economic and environmental factors, incorporating rubber into calcareous sand
as a backfill material in marine engineering construction is a favorable approach. The …

The mechanical properties of rubber-sand mixtures are influenced by the ratio of rubber-
sand particle sizes and the rubber content. Rubber-sand mixtures used as roadbed fillers …
