ABSTRACT
This study aims to estimate the compressive properties resulting from the deformation of elastic particles as a foundation for constructing a model of soil mixed with elastic particles such as rubber chips. To determine these compressive components, a series of one-dimensional compression tests were conducted using rubber and aluminum chips. After that, the calculating method of these compression amounts was examined, considering the geometrical deformation of the component particles. The results indicated that if the specimen is in the densest particle arrangement state and the skeletal structure is not disrupted by compression, each compressive component of the mixture could be predicted with almost perfect accuracy.
