Improvement of Soil Subgrade with Shredded Rubber Tire Waste
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8558-5196
A major problem associated with socioeconomic development is the disposal of waste material. In every year, about a million tons of scrap tires are produced in India. It becomes a challenging job to recycle the rubber tire waste safely, as in most of the cases it produces toxic pollution to the environment. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to eradicate the above problem by mixing the shredded tire with soil and use this mixture in the subgrade layer of the road to improve its strength. Nowadays, in geotechnical engineering, the use of shredded rubber tires has received a great consideration for modification of the soil properties. For present investigation, rubber tires were cut into specific sizes of 1 cm × 1 cm, 1 cm × 2 cm, 1 cm × 3 cm, and 1 cm × and mixed randomly to the weight of the soil taken at 1, 3, 5, and 7%. The mixed samples were subjected to Standard Proctor Test, California Bearing ratio (CBR) (unsoaked and soaked condition) and unconfined compression strength (UCS) tests. The test results of the studied soil have clearly shown a significant improvement of CBR and strength parameters. The results obtained from these tests are compared with unreinforced samples, and conclusions are drawn toward the usability and effectiveness of the fiber reinforcements, use as a pavement subgrade material in a cost-effective way. It is found from the investigation that the unsoaked and soaked CBR values are increased maximum of 16.96% and 32.18%, respectively, for the addition of 3% shredded rubber tires of size 1 cm × 2 cm. The maximum increase of UCS value is 13.15% for the addition of 1% of shredded rubber tires of size 1 cm × 2 cm.
