Abstract

The current environmental and economic climate puts a great deal of pressure on engineers to find efficient ways to reuse any waste materials that are readily accessible locally wherever feasible in order to reduce project costs and environmental effects. In techniques for ground improvement, waste materials We can see that the number of tyres being disposed of these days is growing daily. Tyre burning is one of the disposal techniques that may pollute the air and the soil. From the perspective of civil engineering, tyre powder may be used as a substitute material for soil stabilisation. By adding this powder and lime to the poor soil, we may strengthen it. Every year, more than 1 billion tyres are produced worldwide. Approximately 60% of the 10–16 million tonnes of rubber scrap that are produced worldwide originate from tyres. These days A common addition to mixtures of bituminous concrete is crumb rubber. We may modify the characteristics of the soil by varying the proportions of rubber tyre powder.
