Geomaterials derived from scrap tires continue to receive increased attention. These materials are now recognized as a suitable and alternative geomaterial, since they provide cost-effective solutions to many practical problems. This book presents current research and describes the latest advances in this promising field. It reflects the international significance of such recycled materials and discusses the use of whole tires, tire shreds, and tire chips, as well as tire chips mixed with soils and/or treated materials. Scrap Tire Derived Geomaterialsalso includes discussion about the geoenvironmental impact and assessment of these materials, with case studies, novel concepts, and field applications. It also contains information pertaining to mechanical properties and modeling.
