Özet:
Earth retaining structures such as retaining walls, bridge abutment, bulkhead, braced excavation, and mechanically stabilized walls play a critical role in many infrastructural projects and are often subjected to different loading conditions. Performance of retaining walls under static and dynamic loading conditions depends upon the type of backfill soil. According to the European tire and rubber manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) report about the end-of-life tyers management in 2017, Turkey recovers 0% of scrap tires in the civil engineering, public works, and backfilling category. This study aims at describing the ability to use granulated rubber sand mix as a backfill material in earth retaining structures. Therefore, physical model tests were conducted to investigate the deformation characteristics and pressure distribution of granulated rubber-sand mixture backfill behind the sheet pile. At dry and saturated conditions, granulated rubber-sand mixture backfill areas were changed in the physical model tests. Granulated rubber showed promising results that reduced the stiffness and density and increased the shear strength when used with sand. 6%, 8%, 10%, 12, and 15% granulated rubber mixing ratios have been tested using coarse and fine granulated rubber. The optimum ratio was 10% of finely granulated rubber. The maximum dry density reduced by 3.1%, and the maximum shear strength increased by 6.1%. When the granulated rubber-sand mix was used as a backfill, it reduced the lateral earth pressure and increased the water seepage under the sheet pile. The sheet pile model with granulated rubber sand mix backfill showed higher strength than the clean sand model.
