This study is part of an environmental experimental program on the use of scrap automobile tires for geotechnical applications. Different types of laboratory tests were conducted to determine the elastic, plastic, and creep parameters of tire derived aggregate (TDA)-sand granulated mixtures. However, this paper emphasizes the plasticity parameters via the development of a critical state model based on the results of triaxial tests. This was attained by considering loose sand specimens, at a predetermined TDA volumetric content, subject to three different confining pressures under a constant axial displacement rate. The calculated deviatoric stress versus axial strain curves, obtained via the modified Cam Clay model, captured the non-linear elastoplastic response obtained in the tests. Results indicated that the level of the shear strength is highly dependent on critical state friction angle which in turn depends on the TDA content. For the loose TDA-sand mixtures used in the present study, the effect of the TDA content demonstrates a reinforcement of the sand matrix. However this reinforcement diminishes as the TDA content increases.
