Analysis of the bearing capacity of unbound granular mixtures with rubber particles from scrap tyres when used as sub-ballast
Scrap tyres are a problematic waste material.As a method for recycling large quantities of rubber from scrap tyres, this paper analyses the use of unbound granular mixtures with varying percentages of rubber particles as sub-ballast in railway lines.Bearing capacity for Tumbler such mixtures is studied in laboratory and field tests using static and
