Interim data from the ongoing field study of an experimental shreddedtire embankment constructed near Williamsburg, Virginia, are presented. Approximately 1.7 million shredded tires, mixed with a conventional fill material, were used. The results to date indicate that the settlements are somewhat larger than usual in the embankment, but there are no problems with stability. Groundwater monitoring showed no abnormal concentrations. Infrared scans reveal no signs of a potential exothermic reaction in the embankment core.
