Polymeric products such as plastics and rubbers are in widespread use, and the recycling of
these polymeric materials has not kept pace with the increased production. There are …

Recycling and the reuse of waste materials as a replacement for the traditional construction
materials in building and civil infrastructure is a significant step to reduce greenhouse gas …

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste and scrap tires contribute to huge portions of the
waste generated worldwide. One of the most effective and practical ways to eliminate the …

One of the most practical ways to reduce the demand for natural aggregates in the
construction industry and dispose of the construction and demolition (C&D) wastes in …

Very limited research has been conducted to examine the shear behaviour of blended
recycled waste materials using the large direct shear testing apparatus. In this study, a …

To avoid premature failures in pavement layers, strong aggregates must be selected for
pavement constructions that can bear the accumulation of permanent deformations …

Expansive soils are problematic for their relatively low load bearing capacity and extensive
swelling-shrinkage deformations. Therefore, treatment of such soils is often considered to be …

This experimental laboratory study examines the potential use of tire-derived aggregate
(TDA) products as an additive to alleviate the inferior geotechnical properties of a subgrade …

This study investigates the combined performance of ground rubber (GR), the additive, and
polyacrylamide (PAM), the binder, as a sustainable solution towards ameliorating the inferior …

The present study examines rubber's capacity of improving the swell–shrink potential of
expansive clays. Two rubber types of fine and coarse categories with different geometrical …
