Abstract
In India, the scrap or waste tyres are being generated and accumulated in huge volumes causing an increasing hazard to the environment. In order to eradicate the negative effect of these confessions and in terms of sustainable development, there is great interest in the recycling of these non-hazardous solid wastes. So we can stabilize the soil by using waste tyre rubber, which is available as a waste in more numbers. The objective of this study is to study the improvement of bearing capacities of the clay soil using waste tyre rubber. To examine the optimum moisture content present in the soil by using waste tyre rubber and also to study the improvement of settlement of clay soil by using waste tyre rubber.
