Waste materials are produced based on household and industrial manufacturing
operations in the world. Amount of these waste materials increase day by day. However, areas
where waste materials are deposited decrease and reuse of them is limited. Waste materials are
tried to consume using various methods. Generally, waste tires are consumed by burning.
Despite this method is easy and cheap, burning of tires cause the environment pollution
problem. Researches have made about availability and recycling of waste materials as
construction materials over the last three decades. In this study, effect of waste tires which
have different shape and dimension was investigated in asphalt concrete. Test specimens were
subjected to Marshall Tests and creep tests, and results were exposed.
