Analysis of the bearing capacity of unbound granular mixtures with rubber particles from scrap tyres when used as sub-ballast

Abstract: Scrap tyres are a problematic waste material. As a method for recycling large quantities of rubber from scrap tyres, this paper analyses the use of unbound granular mixtures with varying percentages of rubber particles as sub-ballast in railway lines. Bearing capacity for such mixtures is studied in laboratory and field tests using static and dynamic plate load tests, as well as cyclic triaxial tests. It is found that adding rubber increases permanent and resilient strain and that none of the mixtures suffer p… Show more

“…To use unbonded granulated material mixed with the rubber particles of scrap tires as raw material for roads and railways, Hidargo et al [15] performed laboratory and field tests to assess the bearing capacity of the mixture. In the laboratory, a repetitive plate-loading test was performed using a 75-mm loading plate, while in the field test, a repetitive plate-loading test was performed using a 300-mm loading plate.…”
