Recycling Junk Car Materials
If you have a broken down vehicle at a Firestone Service Centers, or Conrad’s location, call us for a price for a wrecked car. Our scrap car hauler will pick your car directly from a transmission shop or Goodyear store. To sell us your car today, while not grab the title and your phone to dial (216) 359-1010. The value of a junk car may not be much, particularly is broken down at a Midas or NTB location. We period when we were the highest paying for junk cars is certainly behind us, but reasonable value is expected.
In a 2016 TDA Guide by The California Dept. of Resources Recycling & Recovery educated us as follows: “TDA is a cost-effective option to conventional construction materials classically used in engineering applications. A cost-advantage assessment performed by a 3rd party for CalRecycle in 2015 evaluated (6) civil engineering projects that utilized TDA in California. For embankment projects, TDA was evaluated against conventional soil fill as well as other competing lightweight fill options such as pumice rock, expanded polystyrene, expanded shale clay, and wood chips. TDA and crushed gravel costs were reviewed for landfill applications, and TDA and soil were assessed for the landslide repair project. For vibration mitigation, TDA costs were evaluated versus floating concrete slabs.
Retaining walls are quite common used in civil engineering projects adjacent to roads and bridges. Retaining walls typically lend support soil backfills and are designed based on the material properties of the soil backfill. Properties such as unit weight and cohesion of a soil in addition to the height of the soil backfill are important factors in determining the design characteristics of the retaining wall. Generally, materials having higher weight and greater overall height will require more robust structures to retain them due to the increase in the lateral forces applied to the structure by the soil. TDA has some advantages as an alternative to conventional soil backfill mainly because it is significantly lighter than soil and is free-draining. Using TDA as a retaining wall backfill can create wall designs that use less steel and/or concrete and require much less excavation, which can lead to significant cost savings over typical soil backfill retaining walls.
Engineers that construct retaining walls with TDA backfills would use the same processes as retaining walls with a conventional soil backfill. The retaining wall must be planned to take into account bearing ability as well as resistance to capsizing and sliding. Additionally, concrete walls must be designed with adequate reinforcement to compete with the shear forces applied to the wall by the backfill material. The use of TDA as an additional backfill reduces the forces applied to the retaining wall that lead to sliding or overturning, but also the resistance to sliding and overturning. This can be confirmed by comparing the factor of safety numbers for the TDA backfill strategy to traditional soil backfill design. Usage of TDA in a retaining wall design reduces the power of forces that the wall experiences due to the backfill, but it also heightens the factor of safety. A retaining wall using TDA will typically need less steel reinforcement & concrete than others, which is an additional cost savings.” The study can be read in its entirety at this site.
