This paper adopted a combined finite and discrete element method to investigate the
structural performance of tyre walls built with tyre-encased-soil elements (TESEs). A full …

Purpose The surging cost of living and shortage of affordable and sustainable homes fuel
the global housing crisis. Earthship buildings are marketed as the epitome of affordable and …

The reuse of end-of-life (EOL) tyres as earth reinforcement materials in civil engineering
projects have been studied for decades. Entire EOL tyres infilled with compacted soil can …

Tyre-encased-soil elements (TESEs) are segmental units made by compacting soil inside
the cavity of EOL tyres. The TESEs can function similarly to bricks to build masonry walls or …

It is a well-known fact that high rise reinforced structures are vulnerable to lateral loadings
from things like earthquake and wind stresses. Bracing systems have the excellent benefit of …

The objective of this study is to investigate the influences of aging and inflation pressure on
the stiffness and absorbed energy of radial tires. By quasi-static compression test, new and …

The main issue associated with the disposal of old tires is that they contain harmful
chemicals and heavy metals that can contaminate the environment as they break down. One …
