Tire chips and tire chips-soil mixtures can be used as alternative fill material in many civil engineering applications. In this study, the potential benefits of using tire chips as lightweight material to improve the bearing capacity and the settlement behavior of sand slope was investigated experimentally. For this aim, a series of direct shear and model loading tests were conducted. In direct shear tests, the effect of contents of the tire chips on the shear strength parameters of sand was investigated. Different mixing ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% by volume were used and the optimum mixing ratio was obtained. Then, laboratory model tests were performed on a model strip footing on sand slope reinforced with randomly distributed tire chips. The loading tests were carried out on sand slope with relative density of 65% and the slope angle of $30^{\circ}C$. In the loading tests the percentage of tire chips to sand was taken as same as in direct shear tests. The results indicated that at the same loading level the settlement of strip footing on sand-tire chips mixture was about 30% less than in the case of pure sand. Addition of tire chips to sand increases BCR (bearing capacity ratio) from 1.17 to 1.88 with respect to tire chips content. The maximum BCR is attained at tire chips content of 10%.

Experiments have been carried out to investigate the burning characteristics of waste tires in high temperature environments. The burning of waste tire chips consists of four stages ; evaporation of volatile matters, ignition, burning of volatile matters, and burning of solid carbon. Burning time of waste tire chips depends on the gas temperature and the initial weight of the chip. However, the environments. In the ceramic matrix burner with a ceramic radiation shield, the burning time of the waste tire chips becomes shorter than that without the shield. This is due to the increase in heat transfer to the tire chips by radiation.

Cold area in korea, railway roadbed and gravel ballast was occurred frost-heaving. So during winter, track was rising and during thaw, track was sinking. In order to prevent the damage of frost-heaving, we have applied a few countermeasures which are circumfusion of calcium chloride and replacement of gravel ballast method. This countermeasures effect is feeble, not continuous and not eco-friendly. This study suggested that we use wasted tire-chips in frost-heaving area and considered appropriate new method to maintenance. This method was named "A Method of Wasted Tire-Chips Post". To prove effect of this method, we have tested in laboratory and field. The result of frost-heaving-ratio field test was decreased frost-heaving-ratio about 50% using "A Method of Wasted Tire-Chips Post".

This study aims to present proper thickness of resilient mount and pattern of chips for the improvement of impact sound isolation. To achieve this aim, field tests were performed to evaluate the performance of impact sound isolation of pilot samples using waste tire chips against light and heavy-weight impacter, which samples were installed over concrete slabs of an apartment housing. In this study, the experiments were performed by the impact sound level of floors in KS F 2810 "Method for field measurement of floor impact level". As results, a flooring structure using waste tire chips as a resilient mount, with no relation to chip's types, has enhanced performance by 1~2 degree in light impact sound isolation, while it has improvement in heavy impact sound isolation. And fiber-type chips have better performance than granule-type ones when they overlaid concrete slab with 15~20 mm of thickness. For the improvement of impact sound isolation, it is recommended that insulating materials should be applied at joints between floating floors and walls, or floating floors and a doorframes, and also waterproof papers should be used for the effective thickness of resilient mount.ent mount.

Accumulation of worn-out automobile tires creat fire and health hazards. As a possible solution to the problem of scrap-tire disposal, an experimental study was conducted to examine the potential of using tire chips as aggregate in Railroad block. This paper examines strength and toughness properties of Railroad block in which different amounts of rubber-tire particles of several sizes were used as aggregate. The Railroad block mixtures exhibited lower compressive, bending than did normal block. However, these mixtures did not demonstrate brittle failure, but rather a ductile, plastic failure, and had the ability to absorb a large amount of plastic energy under compressive loads.

There are about 41% (by weight) of scrap tires were pulverized to produce rubber powder and granules in the tire recycling industry of Taiwan. However, the reuse of the by-products, steel and fiber, of the scrap tires still needs to be improved. It is difficult to remove the remaining rubber on the surface of steel or fiber. This problem reduce the availability for further reuse of steel and fiber. In addition to the improvement of magnetic, gravity separation techniques or carbonization process, using cryogenic shredding process to separate rubber and fiber (or steel) had been used as another alternative. Cryogenic shredding process for scrap tires showed many advantages, the objective of this paper is to explore the mechanisms for the cryogenic shredding process of scrap tires. Cryo-SEM is used to investigate the topographic information, in-situ, from room temperature to -195$^{\circ}C$ . One square inch shredded tire chips are prepared for SEM study. The percentage of the shrinkage of rubber is also estimated, ca. 6.7%. Mechanisms of cryogenic shredding effects on the tire chips are discussed. The proper practice of cryogenic shredding process far scrap tires is also suggested.

본 실험은 폐타이어칩이 심비디움 Pine Clash 'Moon Venus'의 생장 및 양분함량에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 잎, 줄기의 지상부 생장은폐타이어칩과 바크를 혼용한 경우에는 관행구인 바크와 차이가 없었다. 그러나 폐타이칩 단용구에서는 지상부의 생장이 현저하게 감소하였다. 총근수, 신근수, 근장 등 지하부의 생장도 지상부의 생장과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 부패근수는 폐타이어칩 중립과 대립의 단용구에서 증가하였다. 전당, 전분, 엽록소와 N, P, K 등 무기양분의 함량도 폐타이어칩과 바크를 혼용한 경우에는 관행구인 바크와 차이가 없었으나, 폐타이칩 단용구에서는 감소하였다.

Recently, In Korea region becoming subtropical climate, freezing index values have been increasing in winter. The climate condition in Korean became polarized. Since freezing index is increased recently, track heaving from frost is often occurred, which is ignored in past couple of years. Methods to prevent frost-heaving are circumfusion of calcium chloride and replacement of gravel ballast in usual. The effects of those methods are minimal, incontinuous, and not eco-friendly. Therefore, maintenances are performed repeatedly every year. This study discussed utilizing the waste-tire-chips and insulators in the small structures(bridge and box etc) for prevention of frost-heaving. In order to prove effect of waste-tire-chips, laboratory and field tests were conducted with CBR and measurement of frost-heaving amount to prove and verify effect of insulators.
