Solid waste management is one of the major environmental concerns worldwide. In India, the scrap tires are being generated and accumulated in large volumes causing an increasing threat to the environment. With globalization of Indian economy and emphasis on development of

It is desirable from an engineering standpoint to build upon a foundation to ideal and consistent density. Thus, the goal of soil stabilization is to provide a solid, stable foundation. Density is the measure of weight by volume of a material and
