Drained shear behavior of coral sand reinforced with recycled tyre strips

Key Points

• Drained shear behavior improves with the use of recycled tyre strips in coral sand mixtures, enhancing stability.
• Key evidence shows a significant increase in shear strength by up to 25% with optimal reinforcement levels.
• Assessment using geotechnical testing methods evaluates the effectiveness of tyre strips in enhancing coral sand.
• Findings support the potential for eco-friendly materials like recycled tyre strips in soil stabilization applications.
