This study aims to promote the concept of using rubber granules from waste tyres as elastic aggregates blended with traditional ballast particles for better performance of rail tracks, i.e. a Rubber Intermixed Ballast System (RIBS). This paper describes the mechanical and compressibility characteristics of RIBS under monotonic loads and a criterion designed to determine the optimum rubber content in the proposed RIBS. The most interesting findings of this study embrace how the rubber granules in the blended rockfill assembly significantly reduce the dilation and modulus degradation, and the breakage of ballast aggregates. RIBS with more than 10% of rubber demonstrates a seemingly consistent reduction in dilation under changing confining pre...
