An increasing number of automobile vehicles generates an enormous quantity of waste
rubber tires, WRTs, at the end of their service life. When disposed of in landfills and …

The accumulation of waste tires is a global resource and environmental problem. The landfill
or incineration of tires will infiltrate toxic chemicals into the surrounding environment, which …

One of the geotechnical engineering strategies for dealing with weak soils in a construction
site is to alter their mechanical properties with the assistance of soil improvement …

This paper presents experimental investigations on the feasibility of using a sand-rubber
deformable granular layer as a low-cost seismic isolation strategy for developing countries …

In recent years, many engineering researchers have used waste rubbers for the purpose of
soil improvement because of its geotechnical and environmental benefits. Rubber wastes …

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 …

This study aimed to examine the shear strength characteristics of sand–granular rubber
mixtures in direct shear tests. Two different sizes of rubber and one of sand were used in the …

The mechanical behaviors and properties of rubber-sand mixtures are interesting and of
practical importance but are not fully understood yet. In this study, 168 direct shear tests …

Recently, improvement of cemented soils' properties using nanoparticles has been taken
into consideration by engineers. However, no attention has been paid to the effect of using …
