    Introduction
    Solid waste management is one of the major environmental concerns
    worldwide.
    In India, the scrap tyres are being generated and accumulated in large
    volumes causing an increasing threat to the environment.
    The potential of using rubber from worn tyres in many civil engineering works
    has been studied for more than 30 years.
    Applications where tyres can be used have proven to be effective in protecting
    the environment and conserving natural resources.
    In recent times with the increase in the demand for infrastructure and feasible
    foundation design in not applicable due to poor bearing capacity of ground soil
    stabilization has started to take a new shape.

    Literature review
    Many researchers are looking for alternative materials for soil stabilization.
    Studies have been conducted with the crumb rubber to observe the
    characteristics of crumb rubber when mixed with soil.
    The strength of soil-tyre chip mixture decreases once the rubber content
    exceeds 30% in the mixture
    because soil- tyre chip mixture behaves less like reinforced soil and more like
    a tyre chip mass with sand inclusion (Fosse, 1996).
    Rubber chips used in this study were retrieved from discarded used Lorries
    tyre by crushing and removal of the textiles and metal fibers.
    The rubber chips size are between 2 to 5 mm in average .

    Contd
    Researchers have shown that tyre shreds are highly compressible at low
    normal pressure.
    Falling head permeability tests were conducted on rubber mixed soil samples
    it was observed that when water permeated through samples, a slight
    increase in hydraulic conductivity was observed.
    Lee et al., (1999) also determined the shear strength and stress strain
    relationship of tyre chip and a mixture of sand and tyre chips.
    They found out the stiffness and strength properties for tyre sheds and rubber
    sand mixture.
    Rao and Dutta, (2001) conducted studies on sand mixed with rubber chips.
    Compressibility tests and triaxial tests were conducted.

    Contd
    The stress strain relations and strength parameters were studied.
    It was found that the value of internal friction and effective cohesion of sand
    increased with increase in percentage of rubber up to 15%.
    The required amount of soil is collected from the trial pits at a depth of 2m
    below the ground level.
    Sufficient care has been taken to see that the collected soil sample is fairly
    homogeneous.
    The soil so obtained is air dried, crushed with wooden mallet and passed
    through 4.75mm sieve.
    The index properties of the soil are given in the Table 1. The soil is classified
    as CH as per I.S. classification (I.S. 1498:1970) indicating that it is clay of
    high plasticity.

    Case Studies
    JOURNAL 1
    Soil Stabilisation Using Waste Shredded Rubber Tyre Chips:
    This Journal presents improvement of load bearing capacity of soil by
    undertaking a variety of ground improvement technique.
    Here shredded rubber tyre is included into the soil at three different
    percentages of fibre content, i.e. 5% 10% and 15% by weight of soil.
    The samples were subjected to California bearing ratio and unconfined
    compression tests.
    The tests have clearly shown a significant improvement in the shear strength
    and bearing capacity parameters of the studied soil.

    JOURNAL 2
    Study on Effect of Crumb Rubber on Behavior of Soil
    This paper presents the stabilization of soils using crumb rubber at varying
    percentages (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%).

    The soil properties, compaction and unconfined compression strength were


    used to gauge the behavior and performance of the stabilized soils.
    From the tests conducted on the two soils, it was observed that maximum dry
    density and optimum moisture content decreases with increase in percentage
    of crumb rubber on soils.
    The UCS value increased with increase in percentage of crumb rubber and the
    maximum values were observed at 10% and 15% for the soil sample S1 and
    soil sample S2 respectively.

    JOURNAL 3
    Experimental investigation on california bearing ratio for
    mechanically stabilized expansive soil using waste rubber tyre
    chips
    This paper involves the detailed study on the possible use of waste rubber tyre
    chips and lime for soil stabilization.
    The analysis was done by conducting wet sieve analysis, compaction test and
    CBR by replacing the soil with lime and waste rubber tyre chips.
    The optimum percentage of waste rubber tyrechips and lime in soil was found
    out by California Bearing Ratio Test.
    The optimum percentage of lime is 4% and the optimum percentage waste
    rubber tyre chips is 6%.

    Proposals
    By using crumb rubber in civil Engineering applications are
    Subgrade insulation for roads
    Subgrade fill and embankment
    Landfills
    Play ground surface material
    Gravel substitution
    Soil erosion control

    Summary
    The main objective is this term paper is to study the engineering properties by
    using crumb rubber as a stabilizing agent in soil. The stabilization of soil using
    crumb rubber is done by using different engineering properties and Laboratory
    tests. By using these waste rubber tyre materials we modify the properties of
    the soil and reuse it for different Civil Engineering applications.
