Abstract - Tire recycling, or rubber recycling, is theprocess
of recycling waste tires that are no longer suitable for use on
vehicles due to wear or irreparable damage. These tires are a
problematic source of waste, due to the large volume
produced, the durability of thetires, andthecomponentsin the
tire that are ecologically problematic. Becausetheyarehighly
durable and non-biodegradable, they can consume valued
space in landfills
The objective of present work is to review the engineering
properties of soil. The study pertains to find out the optimum
moisture content and maximum dry density with different
proportion of cut rubber tyre . The study included, to
determine the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value with
different percentage of cut rubber tyre. Rubber Tyres was cut
into 10mm to 20mm (Width) and 25mm to 45mm (Length).
Added amount of rubber tyre had been varied in proportions
of 5%, 7 %, 9% and 11 %. So that the current study will help
out in ascertaining the proper improvement of soil using
rubber tyre.
Key Words: Soil, Rubber Tyre, CBR
1. INTRODUCTION
Civil engineering projects are increasingly popular
destinations for recycled waste materials (Hong & Shahin
2010), and the properties and usually low cost of powdered
rubber and chips manufactured from scrap tyrescommends
them for use as an engineeringfill (Humphrey1999).Several
authors have mixed waste rubber tyre powders and/or
shredded tyre chips with samples of soft, weak clayey soils
and reported that this increasestheunconfinedcompressive
strength (UCS), ductility and toughness of the soil
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Several authors have reported various successful
improvement techniques of soil using shredded rubber tyre
Benson et al. [1] examine the plausibility of exploitation
slashed waste tires to reinforce sand. Coordinate shear tests
were directed on blends of dry sand and slashed waste tires.
The variables that were concentrated to guage their impact
on shear quality: customary anxiety, sand grid unit weight,
shred content, shred length, and shred introduction. From
aftereffects of the tests, 3 essential variables impactful shear
quality were recognized:customaryanxiety,shredsubstance
and sand network unit weight
Rao and Datta [2] uncover that the tire chip–sand
admixtures up to twenty chip content act like gravel–sand
blends. Furthermore the delicate quality ends up plainly
extreme for a chip substance of more than 2 hundredth.
Noticeable of this, the work of tire chips and sand blend is
worthwhile in development of street dikes up to a most
stature of ten m. so their substitution amid a standard fill
material is worthwhile as far as utilization of waste tires.
Prasad and Prasada Raju [3] explores the execution of
adaptable asphalt on broad soil subgrade exploitation

research center check aftereffects of direct shear and CBR,

with flyash sub base with very surprising rates of waste tire

Prasad et al. [4] investigate the stabilization method with
model check tracks over sand soil sub grade. Cyclic plate
load tests were dole out on the tracks with totally
different reinforcement materials like waste plastics and
waste tyre rubber in murrum / flyash sub base
course, arranged on sand subgrade. check results show
that most load carrying capability related to less price of

Ayothiraman et al. [5] explore the adjustment technique
with display check tracks over sand soil sub review. Cyclic
plate stack tests were dole out on the tracks with entirely
unexpected support materials like waste plastics and waste
tire elastic in murrum/flyash sub construct course,
organized in light of sand subgrade. check comes about

of waste elastic zone unit produced and involved a great
range. it's important to look out a response to unwind this
downside upheld writing, one among the arrangements is
utilization of different size waste elastic in soil fortification
3. CONCLUSIONS
In light of higher than writing audit it might well be
everywhere on that supported earth strategy has been
increasing quality inside the field of building as a resultof its
to a great degree adaptable and flexible nature. inside the
current years, this strategy has been directed for a spread of
geotechnical applications beginning fromholdingstructures
and earth banks, establishment beds for genuine structures
on delicate grounds, traverse extensions and option
applications. cut waste tires have a few helpful building
properties as a light weight fill material and once it'sutilized
in street base or sub base, cut tire can enhance voidance
beneath the asphalt thus should broaden the lifetime of the
street. Development of building structures on feeble or
delicate soil is considered asperilous.Changeofloadbearing
ability of the dirt could likewise be embraced by a spread of
ground change procedures. cut elastic tire in light of the fact
