ABSTRACT:
A ground stabilization structure having a plurality of rings secured together at peripherally adjoining surfaces by helical coil fasteners. The rings are arranged in a two dimensional array and the rings may be folded into a stack to provide for easy transportation of the structure. Preferably, the rings are tire beads cut from the rim of a waste tire and having a rigid wire support member embedded therein. The helical fasteners have a diameter sufficient to allow two rings to lie substantially flat on a ground surface with the peripheral surfaces of the rings contacting each other. The diameter of the coil also permits two adjacent secured rings to be folded upon each other to form a stack. A method of forming a ground stabilization structure is also provided in which the helical coils are threaded onto the rings at their peripheral junctions to form a two dimensional array.
