| Abstract: | Highlights: What are the main findings? Develops and optimizes rubber granule concrete (12% content) as a stress-release layer. Validates field performance: ~64% stress reduction in high-ground-stress soft rock roadways. Achieves dual benefits of geotechnical stability and waste tire diversion. What are the implications of the main findings? Proposes a high-volume, high-value pathway for waste tire valorization in geotechics. Provides a complete case study from material design to field deployment. Offers a sustainable solution for waste management and deep roadway stability. Waste tire disposal and high-ground-stress soft rock roadway instability are pressing global challenges. This study develops sustainable rubber granule concrete (RGC) using waste tire rubber as a key component, aiming to realize waste valorization and floor heave control. RGC's mechanical properties (uniaxial/triaxial compression, compressibility, ductility) were systematically tested, and its pressure relief mechanism was validated via finite element analysis (ABAQUS/FLAC) and 60-day field monitoring. Results show that RGC with optimal parameters (12% rubber content, 3–4 GPa elastic modulus, 250–350 mm thickness) achieves 64% bottom stress reduction and >40% displacement control. The material's excellent energy absorption and flexibility address the brittleness of conventional concrete, ensuring stable support in high-stress environments. This work provides a sustainable, cost-effective concrete modification strategy, bridging waste recycling and geotechnical engineering, with broad implications for low-intensity, high-toughness material applications.
