In order to study the mechanical properties of tire slices reinforced crushed concrete particles, a series of shear tests were carried out under the conditions of different vertical loads, different tire volume contents, and different shear rates. e test results show that the addition of tire slices can increase the internal friction angle and cohesion of concrete particles, therefore increase the shear strength of crushed concrete particles. e peak shear stress increases with the increase of vertical load. However, with the increase of the tire volume content, the reinforcement effect of the tire slices first increases and then decreases, and the effect is best when the tire volume content is 4%. Under the vertical load of 60 kPa, the reinforcement effect of 4% tire volume content is the best, and the peak shear stress increases by 46.53%. Additionally, the shear rate has a little effect on the peak shear stress. e larger the shear rate is, the smaller the shear displacement is and the faster the shear strength decreases. e smaller the shear rate is, the more gently the shear strength decreases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
