Abstract :

 Weak or soft soil is considered unsafe for construction of engineering structure. To ing about improvement in such soil, ground improvement techniques are utilized commonly in these days. in which the to take up the expected forces coming on the ground soil is made suitably capable by altering natural state of the soil. In this present study, waste shredded rubber has been chosen as the reinforcing material for soil improvement. The growing market of recycled tire to be used in construction of pavement sub grade gives is a positive approach. Use of tire chips has an advantage of being availability after the use of scrap tires which is a waste material. Shredded rubber tire having sizes ranges from 5mm to 20mm (Length) and 2mm to 3mm (Thick)and the steel belting was removed are used extensively. Added amount of rubber tire had been varied in proportions of 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%. Use of shredded rubber tires in geotechnical engineering for enhancing the soil properties has received great attention in the recent times. This paper presents the investigation of behavior of pavement sub grade soil stabilized with shredded rubber tire. It is found that at 3% of tire content utilised in the soil for stabilization purpose gives the maximum strength.
