Determination of the Time-Dependent Strength of Soil Stabilization with Rubber Particles

Soil stabilizations are important in dealing with for geotechnical engineering and transportation engineering departments. There are a lot of stabilization methods. One of the most important soil stabilization method is the stabilization of the soils with materials such as lime, fly ash, glass fiber and rubber particles. In this study, serious tests have been conducted in the laboratory to determine the time-dependent (1 hour, 1 day, 7 day) unconfined compression strength of soil stabilization with rubber particles. Soil samples have been prepared at optimum water content and unconfined compression tests have been carried out. Soil samples have been prepared at 5 % rubber particles and it has been investigated time dependent effect of unconfined compression strength for stabilization. As a result, improvement ratio for all time were approximately 20.81 %-21.48 %. It has also been determined that the improvement ratio is the same for all times. In addition, it has been determined that there is no additional increase in the improvement ratio with time depending on the rubber particles.
