SHEAR STRENGTH TESTS OF GEOCOMPOSITES MADE OF TIRE BALES AND BACKFILL MATERIALS
Keywords: tire recycling, tire (tyre) bales, geocomposite, backfill materials, earth structures
Compressed tire bales are a new building material used in the civil engineering and made of recycled car
tires. This material is characterized by low unit weight, very good drainage properties and high vibration
damping. The aim of the ongoing research is to evaluate interface action of geocomposites made of tire bales
and filling materials (TDA, LECA, sand) used in earth structures for transport infrastructure. Research on the
friction/slip between the rubber and the filling materials as well as the shear strength tests of tire bales have
been conducted. The results have shown a high shear resistance between tire bales and filling materials and
confirmed the possibility of technically efficient use of the new material in the earth structures.
