Abstract - Tire recycling, or rubber recycling, is the process
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 the tires, and the components in the tire that are ecologically problematic. Because they are highly 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.

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 tyres commends them for use as an engineering fill (Humphrey 1999). Several authors have mixed waste rubber tyre powders and/or shredded tyre chips with samples of soft, weak clayey soils and reported that this increases the unconfined compressive strength (UCS), ductility and toughness of the soil
quality were recognized: customary anxiety, shred substance 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 rock/flyash as sub base course with squander tire elastic as a strengthening material. it had been determined that from the research center check aftereffects of direct shear and CBR, the rock sub base shows higher execution when contrasted with flyash sub base with very surprising rates of waste tire elastic as fortifying material 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 rebound deflection is obtained for murrum strengthened sub base compared to flyash strengthened sub base.
Several authors have reported various successful improvement techniques of soil using shredded rubber tyre
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 demonstrate that most load conveying ability identified with less cost of bounce back diversion is acquired for murrum fortified sub base contrasted with flyash reinforced sub base.
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
Amin etal.[6] examined the audit on adjustment of soil exploitation shabby ways. numerous fortification ways territory unit available for accommodating far reaching soils. These ways grasp adjustment with concoction added substances, rewetting, soil substitution, compaction administration, wetness administration, additional charge stacking, and warm ways. of these ways may have the
