Enhancing the Soil Stability using Shredded Crumbed Rubber and Lime

Abstract

The research described herein is an investigation into the engineering properties necessary for use of scrap tires in construction replacing, supplementing, and improving common earthen materials of construction. The shredded crumbed rubber and lime is mixed in various proportions on clay and various properties of soil mixtures are found. The addition of shredded crumbed rubber with lime shows improvement in density and packing in clay, hence its beneficial to use for sub base course.
