STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING WITH TDA
In 2003 and 2006, California used 224,700 waste tires behind two freeway walls; the lighter fill reduced pressure on the structures by about 30%
Pennsylvania used 5,570 tons of shredded tires in the Tarrtown Bridge approaches; project estimated to save about $514,000
In Maine, engineers turn about 1 million scrap tires a year into lightweight highway fill; the shredded rubber stabilizes embankments built on weak marine clay
