Funded Activity Summary

Soft-Rigid Bonded Granular Mixes: Particle Scale Study to Field Predictions. Globally 1.5 Billion and in Australia 56 million tyres reach their end of life with less than 5% recycled. This project aims to create new knowledge and predictive models for the behaviour of bonded soft tyre and rigid rock aggregates through a multi-scale approach from particle scale investigation to large-scale observation and modelling. This will create new knowledge into the behaviour of this unconventional three-phase granular mixes; soft, rigid aggregates bonded with polymer binders. The project will provide significant benefits in diverting millions of tyres from landfills and illegal dumps and a more competitive and environmentally sensitive infrastructure industry.
