Studies on the Effect of Waste Tires on the Stabilization of Lateritic and Lithomargic Soil Subgrades of Rural Pavements
In the coastal regions of Karnataka, the lateritic and lithomargic soils are available abundantly. In this study, a successful attempt has been made to use scrap tire rubber as stabilizing additive along with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) for the rural lithomargic and lateritic soil subgrade applications. The investigation was intended to determine the engineering soil properties, when lateritic and lithomargic soils were blended with scrap tire rubber (STR) at various dosages along with the fixed dosage of OPC. The results reveal that 12% of STR for lithomargic soil and 8% of STR for lateritic soil can be effectively used to stabilize the subgrade along with 2% of OPC. The stabilization is attributed to the combination of mechanical stabilization in the gradation (STR) along with the chemical stabilization (OPC) of the soil. The pavement composition design (as per Indian standards) with the comparison of performances pertaining to the stabilized and un-stabilized pavement subgrade has been proposed in the paper.
