Considering the application scenarios of rubber granules from waste tires in bitumen modification process (wet or dry process), both aerobic and anaerobic aging may occur. The current study aims to investigate thermal behavior tire samples using nanoindentation environment scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) tests. Both tests with different durations were conducted on samples. complex moduli ag...

tire manufacturing industry has a history of more than half a century in iran, where 14 thousand workers are employed. the old and semi-automated processes equipment, backward technology, and raw materials impurity lead to significant exposures to occupational carcinogens such as benzene. this study was to assessment of benzene exposures and evaluation the resulting cancer risk in two tire-manu...

Recycling is a heavily discussed topic nowadays, and recycled tire material to be re-used for the same application is one of the spear points of current R&D activities. Regarding the immense amount of used tires, more than just one outlet for the recycled material is needed. Besides the commonly used particulate and reclaimed rubbers, devulcanizates are another alternative currently under devel...

Through an experimental program of eighteen specimens presented in this paper, the bond strength between reinforcing bar and rubberized concrete was produced by adding waste tire rubber instead natural aggregate. The fine coarse aggregate replaced 0%, 25%, 50% with small pieces a tire. Natural replacement ratio, rebar size, embedded length, yield stress rebar, cover, compressive were studied in...

after 1860’s the railway systems has started to be used in urban transportation in the world. however, especially after the 1950’s, automobile usage has been increased quickly. thus the dense of transportation has started to move from railway systems to the ones with rubber tire vehicles in istanbul. traffic density in urban transportation has started to be experienced since 1950 with the incre...

Removal of turbidity, phytoplankton, and zooplankton from ballast water with waste-tire-made crumb rubber filtration was evaluated in this study. The influences of various design, operational, and water quality parameters (filter depth, media size, filtration rate, temperature, turbidity, running time, etc.) on filtration performance were investigated. Statistical approaches were used to develo...

This review discusses key technologies of intelligent tires focusing on sensors and wireless data transmission. Intelligent automobile tires, which monitor their pressure, deformation, wheel loading, friction, or tread wear, are expected to improve the reliability of tires and tire control systems. However, in installing sensors in a tire, many problems have to be considered, such as compatibil...

The motivation of this study stems from a retaining wall made waste tires. did not suffer any earthquake or tsunami-induced damage during the 2011 Off Pacific Coast Tohoku Earthquake, Japan. This paper deals with case on tire wall. Results series field and laboratory investigations are first described. A numerical simulation is also described in which whole tires were used as protective layers ...
