Abstract
In order to evaluate the performance of soil and rubber waste mix as subgrade material, load tests were conducted on soil and rubber waste in four different layer forms as well intermixed combination. Rubber chips of 30 – 40 mm are used. It is found that load carrying capacity of the soil + RW + soil layer and soil + RW inter mix are found to be better than the other combinations such as soil + soil + RW or soil + RW + RW, both in reinforced and unreinforced case. The placement of geogrid reinforcement at the interfaces of soil and RW layer improved not only the load carrying capacity but also very much the recoverable elastic strain.
