| 摘要： | A 4.88-m (16-ft), full-scale retaining wall test facility was constructed to investigate the use of tire shreds as backfill for conventional retaining walls. The facility can test backfill at at-rest and active conditions and is instrumental for measuring horizontal stress and interface shear. Tire shreds from three suppliers were tested. The results for at-rest conditions are presented. The average at-rest horizontal stress for tire shreds was about 45% less than expected for conventional granular backfill. Moreover, the at-rest horizontal stress was about the same for tire shreds from the three suppliers. Design parameters were developed by using two procedures. The first used the coefficient of lateral earth pressure and the other was based on equivalent fluid pressure. The horizontal and shear forces acting on the concrete face of the wall were used to determine the angle of wall friction, which ranged from 30 deg to 32 deg for tire shreds from the three suppliers. |
