In recent decades, the amount of scrap tyres has been increasing all around the world due to increasing population and thereby increasing vehicle usage. Increasing vehicles on the road have resulted in the piling up of waste tyres. These tyres are disposed either by incineration or landfilling which causes major environmental problems. As a solution to this, tyres are used in the form of rubber fibers, chips, granules, etc., to improve geotechnical properties of soil. This study focus on the effect of rubber granules on the bearing capacity of sandy soil by varying relative densities. Different proportions of rubber granules (4%, 8%, and 12% by weight of reinforced depth) of size less than 4.75 mm were used in this experiment. Relative density of sand bed was kept as constant at 30% and relative density of 1B (B-breadth of footing) depth of sand layer was varied by 30, 50, and 70%. Totally 8 plate load tests, three on unreinforced sandy soil and five on reinforced sandy soil were done. Results showed that as rubber content increases bearing capacity of sand increases and settlement decreases. 12% rubber-reinforced sandy soil with relative density 50% shows high bearing capacity ratio than 12% rubber-reinforced sand with relative density 30 and 70%.
