Abstract
This paper investigates strength characteristics of soil replaced partially with scrap tyre rubber. Scrap tyre rubber have been used as a stabilizer for various civil engineering applications. In this present study the main objective is to know how much the combination of scrap tyre rubber can be utilized for the improvement of strength properties of soil. The second objective is to find the variation of optimum moisture content and maximum dry density with increase in percentage replacement of scrap tyre rubber. The third objective is to find the optimum concentration of scrap tyre rubber based on the CBR ratio test results. This study involves the determination of optimum concentration of scrap tyre rubber by replacing the soil with different percentages and conducting CBR Ratio test for each percentage. Scrap rubber in 0, 5, 10 and 15%. It is found that at 10% replacement of soil by Scrap rubber the CBR ratio got maximum result. This study shows Scrap tyre rubber can be used as stabilizers for improving the properties of soil.
