ABSTRACT

Characteristics of soil subgrade play a prominent role in pavements. As an essential concern, weakly sub graded soil enhanced by adopting the most efficient stabilization techniques. The principle point of the present investigation is to validate that the by-products from scrap tyres like carbon black can be utilized as stabilizing the material. In this study trail tests have been conducted to find out the improvement in CBR by adding 2% to 10% of the carbon black and observed that the addition of carbon black proportions in soil results in a definite increase in CBR. The carbon black stabilized soil can be used in low volume road construction where there is less movement of traffic like HCV’s, leading to significant cost advantages. Besides rendering the safe disposal of scrap tyres in to an environment as a recycled product for various constructions purposes in the modern era where they have a massive importance.
