Structures incorporating used vehicle tyres

摘要

Used vehicle tyres are used to form supporting structures. The structures can support an earth wall (Figure 9), a river wall (Figure 8) or a coastline defence (Figure 2). The structures comprise tyres (4) formed in piles (2) in which all the tyres are coaxial, with the piles (2) then being arranged in a row (7) or rows (7) along the length of the structure or area to be supported/defended.
