Center for By-Products Utilization UTILIZATION OF DISCARDED TIRES AS CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FOR TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several technologies established for tire utilization were reviewed in order to determine the best use of discarded tires. The technologies reviewed were retreading, reclaiming, splitting, combustion, pyrolysis, use in breakwaters, erosion control structures, reefs, pavements, general construction materials, etc. Based on the information collected, it was concluded that the use of discarded tires in construction of pavements, erosion control structures, reefs, impact absorbing products, etc. were viable alternatives to dumping of discarded tires. In addition, the use of tire rubber in the construction of rubberized pavements is extensively reviewed. A recommendation is also made for use of tire rubber in new construction materials suitable for highway construction applications.

Utilization of Soil Stabilization with Cement and Copper Slag as Subgrade Materials in Road Embankment Construction
In this study, unconfined compression tests have been conducted to investigate the impacts of copper slag on mechanical characteristics for stabilized cement and un-stabilized soil. Dozens of specimens were prepared at four percentages of cement (i.e. 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%) and five percentages of copper slag (i.e. 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) by weight of dry soil. The samples compacted into a cylind...

There is a strong mutuality between tourism and environment via the creation of feedback mechanisms, since tourism often places adverse effects upon the quality and quantity of natural and cultural resources of the destination, leading to its qualitative and quantitative degradation. Within theEnvironmental Impacts Assessment (EIA) studies, various methods have been proposed to assess and analy...
متن کاملEnergy Delivery at Oil and Gas Wells Construction in Regions With Harsh Climate
Energy delivery at well construction in regions with hard climate is distinguished by variable demand in electric and heat power. Energy consumption of drilling equipment, production and living facilities varies greatly during the year, depending on power load charts and climate conditions. Power supply of remote well construction sites is mostly accomplished by operating autonomous power sourc...
