Abstract Soil properties play very important role in construction. Sometime the properties of soil are not favorable for construction, and we used some method to improve properties of soil called soil stabilization. Improvement of load bearing capacity of the soil may be undertaken by a variety of ground improvement techniques. In this project we are using shredded rubber tyres to improve properties of soil. With ongoing rise in use of motor vehicles hundreds of millions of Tyres discarded each year throughout the world. Use of tyres in geotechnical engineering for improvement of bearing capacity of black cotton soil has received great attention in recent times. Shredded rubber tyres with different percentages (4%, 6%, 8%, 10%) of tyres by weight of soil sample for the experiment work. The investigation has been focused on the strength behavior of soil reinforced with randomly included shredded rubber fiber. The main objective is to increase the strength or stability of soil and to reduce the construction cost by using local available materials. The low strength and high compressible soft soils were found to improve by addition of shredded rubber. The samples were subjected to California bearing ratio and standard proctor test.
