Estrutura de contenção de pneus inservíveis como solução prática para sua reutilização

Abstract

This paper presents a literature review on the basic concepts of slopes and retaining walls. In addition, it shows the reality of the reuse of unserviceable tires and their destination, focusing on the real situation of this theme in the city of Guarapuava - Paraná, shown in research carried out in this city. Finally, the tire containment structure is presented as a possible solution for the instability of landfill slopes, as a sustainable, fast and cheap alternative for execution, exemplified in a case study of this type of structure carried out in the studied region, showing its construction techniques, materials for mooring, soil classification through the analysis of granulometry of a sample of the site, calculations for safety checks to displacement, overturning and tensions in the base, and finally, its costs. After analyzing this method, it is concluded that this containment structure is a viable alternative for use in the region, despite the difficulty in obtaining labor, since the tire shops were accessible to supply the tires, in addition to showing good results for safety checks.
