• Abstract:
  The present research project consists of construction of test tire shred and soil embankment as well as basic laboratory tests for material property characteristics and instrumentation of the embankment. The instrumentation includes settlement monitoring using nine settlement plates, vertical and horizontal inclinometer monitoring, temperature monitoring and groundwater quality analysis. The objective of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of using a mixture of tire shreds and soil as fill material for embankments on the basis of field instrumentation and tests.
