All over the globe, the generation of industrial waste has been increased due to the increasing demand for modern civilisation. In the developing countries like India, it is growing vigorously which eventually increases the production of vehicles and results in the more number of waste tyres. Despite the dumping such hazardous waste in landfills, stockpiling, and burning, their feasible utilisation in the modification of soil and concrete can be a good alternative option for their disposal. This paper enlightens the published work carried out by various researchers to enhance the mechanical properties of clayey soil using various forms of waste tyres. The effects of different forms of waste tyres on consistency limits, compaction characteristics, strength characteristics, compressibility characteristics, permeability and California-bearing ratio of cohesive soils have been reviewed. The review results show that the use of waste tyre products in ground improvement can be an economical solution for the construction industries and optimistic future as its disposal option. Still, further investigations and more research studies are required to consolidate the remarks drawn by the past researchers for its utilisation in the construction of highway/railway embankments and other field applications.
