Creep of Sand–Rubber Mixtures
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 19, Issue 12
Abstract
This technical note documents an experimental study conducted to examine the time-dependent mechanical response of specimens composed of sand and granulated tire rubber, loaded in one-dimensional compression. The results indicate that sand–rubber creep is significant and may be reasonably estimated with the use of an available soil creep model. The swelling of granulated tire rubber due to oil absorption reveals the potential for its use as a stabilizing engineering material.
