The growing focus on sustainable solutions in geotechnical engineering highlights the potential of sand–rubber tire shred mixtures for applications such as soil stabilization, embankment reinforcement, seismic isolation, and drainage. This paper presents a bibliometric study analyzing research trends, methodologies, and applications of these mixtures from 2000 to 2025, based on 366 relevant publications. The findings indicate a substantial increase in publications after 2015, reflecting heightened academic and industrial interest in sustainable construction materials. Keyword co-occurrence analysis reveals key research themes, including optimization of shear strength, enhancement of compressibility, and mitigation of seismic impacts. Citation network maps illustrate influential studies and collaborative research networks that are propelling advancements in this field. Despite the advantages of sand–rubber mixtures, challenges such as compaction difficulties, variability in rubber particle size, and long-term durability remain to be addressed. Future research should focus on large-scale field applications, standardization of design methodologies, and the integration of advanced computational modeling for performance optimization. This study contributes to the development of sand–rubber mixtures, positioning them as viable and ecological solutions within the framework of circular economy principles and sustainable construction practices. 2025-12-03T08:09:22Z 2025-12-03T08:09:22Z 2025 text::journal::journal article Madhusudhan Bangalore Ramu, Abdullah O.
