Engineered mixtures composed of rigid sand particles and soft rubber particles are tested to investigate their behavior with strain level. Mixtures are prepared with different volumetric sand fractions (sf) to identify response using small strain resonant column, intermediate strain oedometer, and large strain direct shear tests. The small strain shear modulus and damping ratio are determined with volumetric sand fractions. The asymmetric frequency response curve increases with decreasing sand fraction. Linear responses of shear strain and damping ratio with shear strain are observed at the mixture of sf=0.2. Vertical strain increases with decreasing sand fraction. Mixtures with $04.{\leq}sf{\leq}0.6$ show the transitional stress-deformation behavior from rubber-like to sand-like behavior. The friction angle increases with the sand fraction and no apparent peak strength is observed in mixture without sf=1.0.

다양한 모래부피비($sf=V_{sand}/V_{total}$)를 가지는 시료를 조성하여 변형률 크기에 따른 모래-고무 혼합재($D_{sand}/D_{rubber}=1$)의 거동을 분석하였다. 공진주시험, 압밀시험, 그리고 직접전단시험을 실시하였다. 변형률 크기에 따라 모래와 고무는 혼합재 전체 거동을 서로 다르게 제어한다. $sf{\geq}0.4$의 혼합재는 비선형 전단강성의 감소가 관찰되는 반면, $sf{\leq}0.2$의 낮은 모래부피비를 가지는 혼합재는 상당히 높은 탄성한계변형률을 보인다. 고무 입자가 force chain의 역할을 수행할 때 수직변형은 급격한 증가를 보인다. 혼합재 내의 고무부피비가 감소함에 따라 혼합재의 강도는 증가하는 경향을 보이며 $sf{\leq}0.8$의 혼합재는 전단변형에 따라 부피 수축 거동을 보인다. 고무 입자는 변형률 크기에 따라 혼합재 내에서 서로 다른 역할을 수행한다: 미소변형률 영역에서는 혼합재 내의 접촉수 증가 및 소성의 제어; 중간변형률 영역에서는 force chain의 좌굴 방지; 그리고 대변형률 영역에서는 혼합재의 부피수축 거동을 이끈다.

The use of sand-tire chip mixtures in construction industry is a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach that addresses both waste tire disposal and soil improvement needs. However, the addition of tire chip particles to natural soils decreases maximum shear modulus (G_max), but increases compressibility, which can be potential drawbacks. This study examines the effect of overconsolidation stress history on the maximum shear modulus (G_max) of rigid-soft mixtures with varying size ratios (SR) and tire chip contents (TC) by measuring the wave velocity through a 1-D compression test during loading and unloading. The results demonstrate that the G_max of tested mixtures in the normally consolidated state increased with increasing SR and decreasing TC. However, the tested mixtures with a smaller SR exhibited a greater increase in G_max during unloading because of the active pore-filling behavior of the smaller rubber particles and the consequent increased connectivity between sand particles. The SR-dependent impact of the overconsolidation stress history on G_max was verified using the ratio between the swelling and compression indices. Most importantly, this study reveals that the excessive settlement and lower G_max of rigid-soft mixtures can be overcome by introducing an overconsolidated state in sand-tire chip mixtures with low TC.

모래 입자와 연약한 고무 입자로 이루어진 강-연성 혼합재의 응력-변형 및 전단파 특성을 평가하기 위해 고무와 모래의 부피비(sf)와 입자 크기비(sr)를 달리하는 시료를 조성하였다. 벤더 엘리먼트가 설치된 압밀셀을 이용하여 응력-변형시험 및 $K_o$ 상태에서의 미소변형 전단파 시험을 실시하였다. 일정한 입자 크기비를 가지는 강-연성 혼합재는 강성의 입자에서 연성의 입자로 거동이 전이되는 응력-변형 및 미소변형 전단파 특성을 보였다. 또한, $G_{max}=\;{\Lambda}({\sigma}'_{o}/kPa)^{\zeta}$ 관계에서 모래의 부피비(sf)가 $0.4{\sim}0.6$인 구간에서 $\Lambda$계수가 급격히 증가하며 $\zeta$ 지수는 최대값을 보이는 것으로 관찰되었다. 전이 혼합재는 구속응력의 변화에 매우 민감한 거동을 보이며 연성인 고무입자는 재하 하중에 의해 쉽게 변형되므로 최소 간극율을 가지는 강-연성 혼합재의 부피비는 재하된 응력의 크기에 좌우된다. 실내시험을 이용한 본 연구에서는 입자 크기 비와 모래 부피비가 강성 입자와 연성 입자의 혼합재료 거동을 결정하는 것으로 요인으로 분석되었다.

단단한 모래 입자와 연약한 고무 입자로 이루어진 Engineered soils을 고결화 시킨 후 $K_o$ 상태에서의 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 고결화 효과에 따른 영향 및 모래부피비에 따른 영향을 파악하기 위하여 다양한 모래부피비를 가지는 비고결화 및 고결화 시료를 준비하여, 수직 응력에 따른 변형 및 탄성파 속도를 측정하였다. 탄성파 속도 측정은 벤더 엘리먼트와 PZT 엘리먼트를 이용하였다. 고결화 이 후 응력에 따른 수직 변형율의 기울기는 이중 선형 관계를 보이며 고결화 결합 파괴 이후에는 비고결화 시료와 비슷한 기울기를 가진다. 정규화된 수직 변형량은 응력에 따라 capillary force, cementation, decementation 구간으로 나눌 수 있다. 근접장 내에서 측정된 전단파 신호의 첫 번째 움직임은 압축파의 도달과 일치하였다. 고결화에 의해 탄성파 속도는 수직 응력의 증가 없이 급격한 증가를 보였으며, 고결화 이후 추가적인 응력 증가에도 일정한 값을 보였다. 고결화 파괴 후 지속적인 수직 응력의 증가에 따라 탄성파속도는 증가하였다. 고결화는 비고결화 시료에서 나타나는 유사고무, 유사모래, 전이 3가지의 거동을 방해한다. 고무-모래 혼합재의 고결화 결합의 파괴 메커니즘은 모래부피비에 따라 다르며 낮은 모래부피비의 시료는 입자 모양의 변화가, 높은 모래부피비 시료에서는 입자 구조의 변화가 고결화 결합의 파괴가 주요한 원인이다. 본 연구를 통해 연약한 고무 입자와 단단한 모래 입자의 혼합재인 Engineered soils의 거동은 고결화 및 고결화 파괴에 따라 비고결화 시료와 구분됨을 알 수 있었다.

Unconfined compression test (UCT) is widely conducted in laboratories to evaluate the mechanical behavior of frozen soils. However, its results are sensitive to the initial conditions of sample creation by freezing as well as the end-surface conditions during loading of the specimen into the apparatus for testing. This work compared ice samples prepared by three-dimensional and one-dimensional freezing. The latter created more-homogenous ice samples containing fewer entrapped air bubbles or air nuclei, leading to relatively stable UCT results. Three end-surface conditions were compared for UCT on ice specimens made by one-dimensional freezing. Steel disc cap with embedded rubber was found most appropriate for UCT. Three frozen materials (ice, frozen sand, and frozen silt) showed different failure patterns, which were classified as brittle failure and ductile failure. Ice and frozen sand showed strain-softening, while frozen silt showed strain-hardening. Subsequent investigation considered the influence of fines content on the unconfined compression behavior of frozen soil mixtures with fines contents of 0-100%. The mixtures showed a brittle-to-ductile transition of failure patterns at 10%-20% fines content.

This study uses recycled green building materials based on a Taiwan-made recycled mineral admixture (including fly ash, slag, glass sand and rubber powder) as replacements for fine aggregates in concrete and tests the properties of the resulting mixtures. Fine aggregate contents of 5% and 10% were replaced by waste LCD glass sand and waste tire rubber powder, respectively. According to ACI concrete-mixture design, the above materials were mixed into lightweight aggregate concrete at a constant water-to-binder ratio (W/B = 0.4). Hardening (mechanical), non-destructive and durability tests were then performed at curing ages of 7, 28, 56 and 91 days and the engineering properties were studied. The results of these experiments showed that, although they vary with the type of recycling green building material added, the slumps of these admixtures meet design requirements. Lightweight aggregate yields better hardened properties than normal-weight concrete, indicating that green building materials can be successfully applied in lightweight aggregate concrete, enabling an increase in the use of green building materials, the improved utilization of waste resources, and environmental protection. In addition to representing an important part of a "sustainable cycle of development", green building materials represent a beneficial reutilization of waste resources.

Millions of scrap tires are discarded annually in Turkey. The bulk of which are currently landfilled or stockpiled. These tires consume valuable landfill space or if improperly disposed, create a fire hazard and provide a prolific breeding ground for rats and mosquitoes. Used tires pose both a serious public and environmental health problem which means that economically feasible alternatives for scrap tire disposal must be found. Some of the current uses of scrap tires are tire-derived fuel, creating barrier reefs and as an asphalt additive in the form of crumb rubber. However, there is a much need for the development of additional uses for scrap tires. One development the creation of shreds from scrap tires that are coarse grained, free draining and have a low compacted density thus offering significant advantages for use as lightweight subgrade fill and backfill material. This paper reports a comprehensive laboratory study that was performed to evaluate the use of a shredded tire-sand mixture as a backfill material in trench conditions. A steel frame test tank with glass walls was created to replicate a classical trench section in field conditions. The results of the test demonstrated that shredded tires mixed with sand have a definite potential to be effectively used as backfill material for buried pipe installations.

Exterior walls in buildings are exposed to various forms of thermal loads, which depend on the positions of walls. Therefore, one of the efficient methods for improving the energy competence of buildings is improving the thermal properties of insulation plaster mortar. In this study, lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) and micro rubber ash (MRA) from recycled tires were used as partial replacements for sand. The flow ability, unit weight, compressive strength, tensile strength, thermal conductivity (K-value), drying shrinkage and microstructure scan of lightweight rubberized mortar (LWRM) were investigated. Ten mixtures of LWRM were prepared as follows: traditional cement mortar (control mixture); three mixes with different percentages of LWFA (25%, 50% and 75%); three mixes with different percentages of MRA (2.5%, 5% and 7.5%); and three mixes consisting both types with determined ratios (25% LWFA+5% MRA, 50% LWFA+5% MRA and 75% LWFA+5% MRA). The flow ability of the mortars was 22±2 cm, and LWRM contained LWFA and MRA. The compressive and tensile strength decreased by approximately 64% and 57%, respectively, when 75% LWFA was used compared with those when the control mix was used. The compressive and tensile strength decreased when 5% MRA was used. By contrast, mixes with determined ratios of LWFA and MRA affected reduced unit weight, K-value and dry shrinkage.
