Abstract
This research largely focused on investigating the structural behaviour of recycled tyre-bale and recycled tyre crumb sandwich panels with an aim to promote the reuse of waste tyres in structural engineering applications. Experimental, numerical and theoretical methodologies are implemented to establish the best performing sandwich panels and verified their static and dynamic load capacities. The research findings encourage the use of recycled tyre-bale and crumb sandwich panels as structural and non-structural members in infrastructure projects.
