Used tires are unwanted wastes especially in urban areas and their extent is growing every year. With the development of human societies and the increasing use of automobiles, every year millions of used tires are collected as garbage around the world and leave the consumption cycle. However, they can be used by mixing with soil, one of the basic building materials, to improve their mechanical properties. This article discusses the effect of adding tire chips on the shear strength properties of high-friction sand. Different mixing ratios of the sand-tire chips mixture by weight (100: 0, 97.5: 2.5, 95: 5, 92.5: 7.5 and 90:10) were used. The Maximum Dry Density (MDD) and Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) of sand and different sand-tire chip mixtures were determined by the standard Proctor test. Samples were prepared under OMC and MDD conditions and direct shear box test was performed on sand and sand-tire chip mixtures under three different axial stresses. The results showed that when the percentage of tire chips reaches 5%, the internal friction angle was increased by 13.8% and cohesion was decreased by 66.4%. After this point internal friction angle was decreased and cohesion increased slightly.

Use of recycled rubber in asphalt pavement has been widely accepted since it overcame the scrap tires disposal problem and it has many advantages—for example, savings in quantity and cost of construction materials. In this study, hot-mix asphalt (HMA) specimens with or without crumb rubber modifier (CRM) were analyzed under different environmental conditions. The CRM was added into HMA by two processes (wet and dry processes). The CRM was procured from two different sources to prepare specimens (one source for each process). Cylindrical specimens were tested in a particle entrainment system at two different temperatures and three different pH levels. Slab specimens were simulated for rainfall conditions. Water samples were collected in all three phases of the study: preliminary investigations on individual CRM, water quality evaluation for cylindrical HMA specimens at various environmental conditions, and water quality evaluation for slab HMA specimens under simulated rainfall conditions. Collected water samples were analyzed for six metals: chromium, lead, nickel, copper, cadmium, and zinc. A general trend for these metals indicates that zinc was leached in higher concentrations than other metals and all the metals were leached in higher concentrations at higher temperature (maximum asphalt pavement temperature) and at lower pH (pH 2.0 conditions). Finally, based on the limited scope of this effort and comparison with water quality criteria, there does not appear to be any evidence that there will be a detrimental effect on the environment or to human health.
