Effectiveness of tyre chips as alternative material in vertical gabion wall to mitigate slope failure

In order to reduce stockpiling of waste tyre by use it as a replacement material for gabion walls, the effectiveness of the replacement must be investigated. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the strength characteristic of gabion wall made from gravel mixed with tyre chips. Serie...
