Soil Stabilization is that the development that deals with modifying the properties of soil (Index & Engineering) to boost its performance so that stabilization can be effectively getting used. For a range of engineering works either in its natural kind or during a processed kind. Eventually all structures rest on soil foundation wherever the most objective is to extend the strength or stability of soil and to cut back the development value. Shredded rubber tyre having sizes ranges from 5mm to 10mm (Width), 10mm to 15mm (Length) and a couple of to 3mm in thickness and therefore the steel belting was removed are used extensively. Added amount of rubber tyre varied in proportions of 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% as well as 2% and 4% of cement. Use of shredded rubber tyres in geotechnical engineering for enhancing the soil properties has received great attention within its recent times. It presents the investigation of behaviour of pavement subgrade soil stabilized with shredded rubber tyre chips with addition of cement. The strength is also evaluated based on unconfined compressive strength and the penetration resistance in terms of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test for the samples compacted at maximum proctor density for optimum dosages of cement and shredded rubber tyre chips pieces in the soil. The results showed that the soil can be effectively stabilized to be used as a highway material to a great extent by making use of waste shredded rubber tyre pieces that would otherwise degrade the environment. This ground modification method is an eco-friendly and cheaper method in comparison to other stabilization techniques, using which sustainability with economy are often achieved.
