Abstract

The generation of crumb rubber is abundant in our country and safer disposal has become a challenging job. Hence, a study has been attempted by mixing the crumb rubber in two different types of soil (CI and CH) in different percentages and their properties were studied. They were mixed with the soil sample in 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50%. The standard Proctor compaction, CBR, UCC and permeability tests were conducted. From the experiments conducted, it is observed that maximum dry density decreases with increase in optimum moisture content. The CBR and UCC value increases with increase in percentage of crumb rubber till 15% for both the type of soils and the coefficient of permeability increases with increase in percentage of crumb rubber.
