1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a construction built from waste tires and its constructing method, and more particularly to construction used in projects such as in a protection slope, road berm, riverbank, or riverbed.
2. Description of Related Art
All types of tire have a finite work-life and need to be replaced at some time. However the disposal of the used tires is a big problem because they are made of rubber which will cause serious air pollution if burned. Hence, it is important to effectively recycle the waste tires to avoid polluting the air.
tire A second problem to the environment is the erosion of hillsides, slopes, etc due to deforestation, and a single solution to the waste tire and erosion problems would be very convenient. Hence, it has been proposed to recycle the tires on the hillsides etc in the following manners:
1. Multiple waste tires are connected in series on slopes of the roads and fixed by rods arranged in longitudinal directions. However, this construction collapses easily due to a weak sustaining power of the rods.
2. A second utilization means of the waste tires is used on bulwarks. The waste tires are filled with concrete and placed on the bulwarks. However, the price of the concrete is high thereby making the cost of the second utilization means uneconomic.
3. Another conventional structure to protect the slopes includes baskets each filled with stones and placed on the slopes. However, for preventing the stones from escaping from meshes of the baskets, the stones with sizes smaller than that of the meshes must be filtered out before the larger stones can be put into the basket. Therefore, the cost of the third conventional structure is also high.
Therefore, the invention provides a construction built from waste tires and its constructing method to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a construction built of waste tires which can be easily constructed with a good strength and low cost.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
A second layer is similar to the first layer and stacked on the first layer, as shown in
Thus, a constructing method for the waste tire construction includes steps of cutting sidewalls (11) from waste tires (10), connecting multiple waste tires (!0) in series together to form a first tire layer by the sidewalls (11) secured under the waste tires (10), and filling the waste tires (10) with stones.
Then, a second tire layer is stacked on the first layer, and also is composed of multiple waste tires (10) in series together by the sidewalls (11) secured under the waste tires (10), and filled with stones.
Thereafter, third, fourth layers and so on are in turn stacked on the second layer. Therefore, the waste tires to construct the construction are used as bricks to build a wall.
With reference to
With reference to
The advantages of the present invention are as follows:
1. It is easy to get the sidewall (11) of the waste tire (10) by cutting it from the waste tire (10), and both the stones and the earth are conveniently found in a working site.
2. Multiple layers of the waste tires (10) superposed with each other have a reinforced structure strength.
3. By recycling the waste tires (10), the construction cost of the present invention is low.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
