Abstract:
The use of tire derivatives is emerging as a sustainable alternative in place of traditional
materials. The sustainability and environmental impact of traditional materials is limited.
As a result, alternative materials like tire derivatives, derived from recycled tires and fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion are receiving interest globally. The present study incorporates the efficiency of a mixture composed of tire derivative and fly ash as a backfill in the retaining wall. Numerical simulations are utilized in the research to assess the performance, and stability of retaining walls using this composite material. The
behavior of the retaining wall is compared using only fly ash as a backfill; tire derivative
as a backfill; and a mixture of tire derivative and fly ash as a backfill. Both the settlement
and pressure on the retaining wall are compared through numerical investigation using
rock science. The outcome of the numerical study contributes to the development of resilient and eco-friendly infrastructure by focusing on the structural efficiency and dustainability of retaining walls.
