More and more construction of buildings and other civil engineering structures have to be carried out on weak or soft soil due to increasing of population and the reduction of available land. According to an observation it is observed that every year 13.5 billion of tones of tyre waste disposing on the landfill sites. It is a well-known fact that complete combustion (Incineration) of tyre-waste is not possible. For Soil of poor strength and high swelling & shrinkage, a great diversity of ground improvement techniques are found out and those techniques are successful also. So rather focusing on stabilization this work focused to increase CBR value of soil. So here it is proposed to use tyre waste as an improvement agent for soil’s strength (mechanical). Complicated nature, its stability and poor mechanical strength these three are main characteristic of the black cotton soil. Sample of Black cotton soil is taken from Varnama village, near Por Ta.and Dist. Vadodara for the study. Vadodara district is fond of yellow soil but after Vadodara and up to Surat, the land is full of black cotton soil. Here tyre of cycle to bus and tractor to earthmoving equipment and of any size is used. Tyre in any form such a powder, chips and shredded form can be used.
