Abstract:The objective of this project was to assess the potential of placement and compaction of shredded tire chips and soil-tire mix in confined trenches around buried pipes and to evaluate the stability and deformation of metal pipes in such systems. The methodology used for this purpose was to construct a full-scale test section with tire chips as fill around buried steel pipe. Soil deformation around the pipe was monitored and compared with other test sections constructed with soil only and with soil-tire mix as fill material.This report presented a summary of the experimental work and the conclusions based on the construction procedure of the test sections, field monitoring, and the laboratory-testing program.
