The document describes mechanical concrete made using tire-derived cylinders to confine aggregates and waste concrete. It discusses using these materials to make load-bearing foundations and walls as an alternative to traditional cement and rebar. The methodology section outlines tests on bitumen, aggregates, and cylinders with different fillers to compare the mechanical properties between conventional and mechanical concrete. The objectives are to create a more economical and environmentally friendly construction material using recycled tires and concrete waste.

ASPHALT POROUS PAVEMENT WITH

TIRED DERIVED CYLINDER


ABSTRACT
• Mechanical concrete is made by confining aggregates, soils and granular materials inside
a thin walled geo cylinder in which we used the waste tires , aggregates and waste
concrete. It is a way of binding crushed stone aggregates together into a load bearing
cellular building unit which can support compressive loads and resist lateral soil pressure.
This tire derived cylinder performs functions similar to the cement or water mixture, the
rebar and the formwork in hydraulic cement concrete. Stones confined in this manner can
function in load supporting foundations; earth retention structures i.e. walls and dams,
slope and channel erosion protection i.e. as ditch and channel liners. It is strength of
mechanical cement cylinder that generally defines the overall strength of mechanical
concrete and not the crushed stone. The preferred cylinder is made from a recycled auto
or truck tire with both sidewalls removed. The tire treated cylinder is no longer a tire but
through remanufacturing becomes tire-derived-cylinder, TDS. 78 % of construction waste
consists of concrete waste, bricks and tiles. Concrete waste with various fractions was
used as coarse aggregate in the research, as well as filler aggregates from the crushed
concrete waste were used. Physical-mechanical properties of the samples were analyzed
by comparing with reference samples where typical aggregates were used.

INTRODUCTION
• Mechanical concrete road introduces a new, cellularreinforced, aggregate
building material, confined aggregate, concrete. This material is made by
using cylinder to confine stone aggregates. The cylinder increases load-
bearing capacity of all types of aggregates by providing direct lateral
support.
• It is comparable in bearing load applications to common Portland cement
(PC) concrete. In this report material behaviour and laboratory load tests
conducted on different types of filler material are described.
• In confined aggregate (CA) a cylindrical device alone accomplishes lateral
confinement and integration of stone aggregates; verses in PC concrete,
cement, water and sand mortar perform this. Main materials which we used
as filler is a waste concrete, which is very cheap in market and also easily
available. Because of geo synthetic tires the filler material are fixed and due
to this the road material does not move laterally.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Pavement structures generally consist of four layers: subgrade; sub base;
unbounded/bounded base course is to drain out the water, which is can
be extremely deleterious to the life of the pavement systems include
water infiltrating through cracks in the pavement; water entering
longitudinal pavement/shoulder joints; seepage water from ditches and
medians; and high ground water table. In flexible pavements, water with
fine material can also be pumped out causing enlargement of void
spaces in the pavement base. Excessive fines in the gradation make
aggregate particles too float in the matrix resulting in low permeability
with low stability.
The horizontal load supporting capacity of aggregates, soils and granular materials
is dependent on the internal friction that is generated between particles was studied
by Tuan-Chun Fu and Roger N.L. Chen, PhD, Test results of stone aggregates
Contained in Open–ended steel Cylindrical Pipes, WVDOT, November, 2005.
Internal friction allows the granular material to internally support the horizontal
portion of the vertical load. Graded crushed stone materials used to support loads in
the bases of roads or on unpaved roads surfaces are usually made up of particles of
varying sizes so that the internal friction between particles is optimized. For this
purpose, aggregate road construction materials usually contain between 5 and 12%
very fine ‘binder’ particles. This is by design so that the graded particles can be
compacted together tightly to optimize the internal friction and thus maximize the
resulting compacted material’s load supporting capacity. Anything that reduces this
internal friction will reduce the capacity of the compacted particulate material to
support external loads. Water is the most common element that tends to reduce the
internal friction between soil particles. This is why the drainage design of a road is
so important and why during the rainy season unpaved roads tend to deteriorate
These CA concrete walls are designed using conservative masonry wall
design standards regarding wall height to thickness ratios. In designing
and stacking masonry elements engineers follow the general principle of
keeping the resultant compressive force within the middle third cross
sectional area. Following this principal assures that the stacked, discreet
masonry elements will always be compressed against each other
throughout the stack. As a wall gets taller it is less likely that the
compressive force resultant will fall in the middle third area, primarily
due to geometric limits on precision of wall construction and load

S.K.Palit, K. (2004) discussed that Crumb rubber modified mixes
displayed lower potential for permanent deformation compared to
normal mixes. 30CR10mixes showed the least potential for permanent
deformation. Crumb rubber modified binders showed lower temperature
susceptibility. Mixes with modified binders displayed higher flexibility
at lower temperatures because of lower resilient modulus and higher
stiffness and tensile strength at higher temperatures. Crumb rubber
modified mixtures were found to be less susceptible to moisture damage
compared to normal mixtures as indicated by higher retained Marshall
stability, higher tensile strength ratio, and improved stripping
characteristics.
Miss Apurva J Chavan (2013)concluded that , Plastic coating on
aggregates is used for the better performance of roads. This helps to
have a better binding of bitumen with plastic wasted coated aggregate
due to increased bonding and increased area of contact between
polymers and bitumen. The polymer coating also reduces the voids. This
prevents the moisture absorption and oxidation of bitumen by entrapped
air. This has resulted in reducing rutting, raveling and there is no
pothole formation. The roads can withstand heavy traffic and show
better durability.
