Viagrip® - Improved braking and roadholdingEurovia_Group
Skid resistance on a pavement in contact with vehicle tyres is one of the fundamental elements of
safety for both motorists and urban pedestrians.
This skid-resistance determines roadholding performance and braking distance when approaching
an obstacle.
There are several methods for improving soil properties:
1) Removal and replacement involves excavating problematic soils like contaminated or organic soils.
2) Precompression uses a surcharge load to accelerate consolidation of clay soils over months or years.
3) Vertical drains like wick drains speed consolidation by providing a shorter drainage path.
4) In-situ densification techniques like dynamic compaction compact soils too deep for surface methods.
5) Grouting involves injecting cement or chemical grouts to reduce permeability or strengthen soils.

The results showed that the addition of SRTC and RHA increased the unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio values of the clayey
Tire waste poses several environmental issues when stockpiled in large piles. This document discusses applications of recycled tire products in civil engineering that can help address the waste tire problem. It describes how tire-derived aggregate can be used as lightweight fill for embankments, as backfill for retaining walls, and in rubberized asphalt pavement. Using tire shreds in these applications provides benefits like drainage and insulation while reusing a substantial volume of scrap tires. However, barriers to wider adoption include uncertainties around engineering properties and long-term performance that can be addressed through research and pilot projects.
STORM WATER RUN OFF PRIMEVAL PAVEMENTSAbhishek Raj
This document discusses a project on permeable pavements as a stormwater runoff solution presented by 3 civil engineering students. It describes permeable pavements as a smart city solution that allows rain and stormwater to infiltrate the pavement and be stored or drained to water treatment plants. The key materials used include soil, geotextiles, aggregate, and concrete or brick pavers. Advantages include reduced stormwater runoff, groundwater recharge, and lower maintenance costs compared to traditional pavements, while disadvantages include longer curing times and more maintenance needs.
This document provides an overview of a project on using waste tires in civil engineering applications. It discusses the challenges of disposing waste tires and explores their use in retaining walls, highway pavements, soil modification, and seismic base isolation. An experimental study found that using tire chips in retaining wall backfill reduced displacements and lateral earth pressures by 50-60% compared to sand alone. Tire shreds can improve drainage and load distribution in highway bases. When added to soils like black cotton soil, tire waste improves engineering properties such as strength. Tire chips also show potential as seismic isolators beneath foundations to absorb energy through sliding.
An early version of interlocking concrete pavement dates back to the Roman Empire in 312 BC. Interlocking concrete pavement (ICP) consists of solid concrete paving units called pavers with openings that allow water to infiltrate. The pavers are placed on an open-graded aggregate base and subbase to store and infiltrate water. ICP provides benefits like permeability for stormwater management, durability lasting over 30 years, and easy repair of individual units.
Rigid pavements are concrete slabs that distribute vehicle loads through beam action. They have high flexural strength and small deflections compared to flexible pavements. The presentation discusses the types of rigid pavements including jointed plain concrete, jointed reinforced concrete, and continuously reinforced concrete pavements. It also covers the design factors for rigid pavements such as traffic loading, subgrade strength, environmental conditions, and material properties. Rigid pavements are designed to last 30 years with minimal maintenance required over the design life.
GSE RoaDrain is a geocomposite material used to drain water from roadways and other paved surfaces to extend their service life. It consists of a triplanar geonet core bonded between two geotextile filters that prevent clogging and allow for linear water flow. RoaDrain provides much higher permeability and compressive strength than traditional stone drainage layers. Proper drainage is critical, as research shows a pavement's service life can be reduced by half if the structural section is saturated for as little as 10% of the time. RoaDrain's excellent drainage capability classified as "Excellent" by AASHTO standards helps protect pavements from moisture damage and extends their lifespan.
There are three main types of forklift tires: pneumatic, resilient, and polyurethane. Pneumatic tires are air-filled like regular vehicle tires, while resilient tires have a solid rubber core instead of air. Polyurethane tires are made of cured polymer materials. Each type is suited for different applications depending on factors like operating environment and load requirements. Accessories called attachments can be added to forklifts to enable safe handling of specialized cargo. However, attachments may reduce the vehicle's rated lifting capacity which must be clearly indicated on the forklift.

8. Current tire “recycling“; The GRIND, BURY & BURN
system:
Out of the 300 million new waste tires generated 228
million were ground up in one form or another
• 49 million ground for" crumb rubber” to produce various re-manufactured products
• 46 million tires were buried as fill for various civil engineering projects
• 133 million tires were burned as Tire Derived Fuel (TDF)

9. YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING
DIFFERENT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
In March of 2007 Re-Tread Products Inc. was
issued a US Patent on a environmentally friendly
building material the “TIRE LOG™”. 9
10. Re-Tread Products Mission
Re-Tread Products Inc. mission is in compliance with New York’s
waste tire management priorities as stated in the New York Waste
Tire Management and Recycling Act of 2003:
“To upcycle waste tires into
value-added products; and to
beneficially use waste tires in an
environmentally acceptable manner”

11. A look inside the TIRE LOG manufacturing process. The beauty of RTP
method of recycling tires is it is: SIMPLE, EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE.
This photo is from The Buffalo News, July 5, 2006. It shows the TIRE
LOGS™ being made (by UB engineering students), by helically winding tire
treads around an inner core of tread material. This method of winding the
tire strips into a variety of building products represents a formidable
improvement in the recycling of waste tires.
11
12. Conventional tire recycling requires the storage and
transportation of whole tires that are “webbed”
together for maximum load capacity.
12
13. Removing sidewalls and making tire strips:
There is no need for the powerful machines used to grind tires, in that when the
sidewall is cut off only the rubber portion of the tire is cut through and there is
only a single cross cut through the tread portion that contains the steel which
13
makes tires so hard to grind up.
14. Tires are reduced to a fraction of their
original bulk.
The strips and sidewalls
are stacked on to pallets
that can be easily stored
and transported. The tire
strips are then used in the
winding process that turns
them in to TIRE LOGS™!

21. For use in place of sandbags for
security/barricades & flood control
17 sandbags = 8’ Tire
Log™
Rapidly deployed with
minimum time and labor
cost compared to the
traditional sandbag and just
as rapidly recovered for
future use.
Tire Logs™ can be stacked
& stored for a wide
assortment of recurring
needs.
21
27. Levee design concepts
Due to its “bend but does not break” characteristic, the Tire Log™ may
be well suited for building applications that are prone to severe and
unusual stresses/shock forces.
27
28. Check Dams
The Tire Log™ is being used as a Check Dam which is a vertical barrier across
a ditch or swale to slow storm waters down and decrease erosion (a water speed
bump) .
29. Check Dams
Check Dams disperse the waters destructive energy as it flows down hill.
29
30. Check Dams
Check Dams also decrease sedimentation reaching the streams
and lakes that the ditches empty in to. 30
33. Check Dams
The Tire Log™ is ideally suited for this application in that it is
extremely durable yet is flexible enough to conform to the 33
contour of the ditch.
34. Check Dams
Steel rebar is pushed through grommets in the Tire
Log™ to secure it in place. 34
35. Check Dams
¾” rebar stakes are
easily pressed in the
ground with the
backhoe bucket.
35
36. Check Dams
The ability to secure the
Check Dam in place
greatly reduces ditch
maintenance cost when
compared to using just
stones that can get
displaced during heavy
storms.
The Tire Logs™ and
stakes can easily be
removed for ditch
maintenance and
reused for other 36
projects.
37. Environmental Sustainability
The control of accelerated erosion and its by-product,
sedimentation, is critical to the vitality of land and
water resources.
The Tire Log™:
Minimizes physical degradation of the environment .
Made from upcylcled tires eliminating the use of extracted
natural resources.
Minimizes the amount of newly manufactured substances.
Easy to install, with little or no maintenance.
Simple to remove without significant disturbed soil
restoration.
Reusable.
Significant cost saving. 37
39. Tire Log™ mats can be used for a wide variety of
applications: Heavy equipment platforms, logging
roads, temporary stream bank protection, boat
ramps, etc…

43. The Onoville Marina is leased to Cattaraugus County by the Corps of Engineers and is
committed to creating sustainable design and operations within the park.
Park personal along with RTP consultants built a demonstration seawall along the marinas
shoreline that has been previously subject to wave erosion.
44. ONOVILLE MARINA SEAWALL
The first course of logs was staked
down using steel rebar stakes that
were pushed into the ground through
grommets in the Tire Log™ with the
bucket of the backhoe to secure logs
in place.
45. ONOVILLE MARINA SEAWALL
The Tire Log’s™ flexibility and energy
absorbing characteristics make it ideal for
seawalls, and other similar shoreline
applications that are subject to
undermining by moving water, wave
action and ice damage.
These extreme environmental conditions
can cause other conventional building
materials to crack and buckle accelerating
their decomposition and losing their
structural integrity.
47. ONOVILLE MARINA SEAWALL
After wall is completed fill is put
back in place and wood framing is
attached to top of the wall for
preparation of pouring concrete
slab.
Concrete slab is poured over the
fill and the top of seawall.
48. SEAWALLS
The Tire Log™ is an environmentally
friendly building material that is able to
replace, and last much longer than
chemically treated wood eliminating the use
of toxic chemicals that may leach into the
aquatic environment.
The Tire Log™ is also an economic
alternative to other conventional building
materials such a concrete that require coffer
dams to be erected before the pouring of the
concrete in open waters.
49. SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS
TIRE LOG™ Engineering Report
Glynn Geotechnical Engineering
Lockport, New York
“The inherent characteristics of this unique building
material make it capable of withstanding deformations that
would crack or break conventional building materials.
Furthermore, the testing of individual units demonstrates
that after test loads are released the product is capable of
returning to its original shape. Due to this “bend but does
not break” characteristic of the Tire Log™ it may be well
suited for building applications that are prone to severe
and unusual stresses/shock forces such as
explosions, earthquakes, wave action, water and ice
pressures, flying debris and vehicle impacts.” - Mark

50. MILITARY and POLICE Applications for the Tire Log™
RTP has tested the Tire Log™ for it’s ability to withstand explosions and
gunfire that are commonly encountered by our military and police forces.
51. Tire Log™ Explosives Demonstration
Ten 1¼” x 8” sticks(~5lbs) of 75% nitroglycerin dynamite were placed in a shaped
charge to make an improvised explosive device (IED), also known as a roadside bomb.
52. Tire Log™ Explosives Demonstration
The IED was then placed
on top of four 8’ long Tire
Logs™ that were lag
bolted together with ½” x
12” long lag bolts
approximately 20” apart.
Typical cross section of
Tire Log 8” H. x 14” W.
55. Tire Log™ Firearms Backstop Demonstration
The Cattaraugus County Sheriffs’ Department has been using a Tire Log™
backstop to demonstrate the ability of the Tire Log™ to safely capture
thousands of rounds of rifle, shotgun and pistol fire at its Firearms Training
Range in Cattaraugus County, New York
56. Tire Log™ Firearms Backstop Demonstration
According to the EPA there are
approximately 9,000 outdoor small
arms shooting ranges in the United
States, excluding those located on
military sites. Millions of pounds of
lead are discharged annually at these
ranges.
57. Tire Log™ Firearms Backstop Demonstration
In the past, the common practice at ranges was
to allow the spent ammunition to accumulate
on site. Many range operators now recognize
the risk posed to humans and the environment
by the lead in spent ammunition and have
implemented programs to manage and recycle
lead shot and bullets.
58. The TIRE LOG™ is being considered for various
construction applications in areas that are prone to
earthquake activity due to its “bend but won’t break” quality.
