Abstract
This study is about the recycling technology of soft clay and scrape tire as geomaterial. And, the purpose of this paper is describing the advantageous mechanical properties of cement treated clay mixed with tire chips.
Generally, cement treated clay shows the brittle deformation property, but it is found that it is able to improve its toughness by adding tire chips at 10 to 20% volume. In this paper, it is shown the results of some laboratory tests, unconfined compression test and triaxial compression tests about this composite material, in order to explain the effect of improvement in its deformation property by mixing tire chips, quantitively. And it is tried to show the consideration of its mechanism.
