    This document discusses using plastic waste to stabilize soil. It conducted standard Proctor compaction tests and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests mixing soil with 0-0.4% plastic strips. The maximum dry density was 18.95kN/m3 at 11.22% moisture content. CBR tests found an optimum plastic content improved strength. Plate load tests showed stabilized soil had a better and longer lasting load capacity than plain soil. Using plastic waste for soil stabilization can effectively reuse waste and improve road infrastructure properties.

    Plastic As A Soil Stabilizer

    Presented By:-
    Shoaib Wani
    Introduction:
     Soil stabilisation means the improvement of stability or bearing capacity
    of the soil by the use of controlled compaction, proportioning and/or the
    addition of suitable admixture or stabilisers.

     The objective of this study is to improve the characteristics at site and


    make soil capable of carrying load and to increase the shear strength by
    decrease the compressibility of the soil.
     Soil stabilisation using raw plastic bottles is an alternative method for the
    improvement of sub grade soil of pavement.

     It can significantly enhance the properties of the soil used in the


    construction of road infrastructure. Results include a better and longer
    lasting road with increased loading capacity and reduced soil permeability.
     In order to conduct this study, various materials such as lateritic soil,
    plastic bottles (both cut and uncut), sea sand and synthetic threads were
    used.
     The Standard Proctor Compaction tests were done to assess the amount of
    compaction
     The California Bearing Ratio test was conducted to determine the optimum
    amount of plastic strips in soil. This is done by mixing soil with varying
    percentages (0.0%, 0.2%, 0.4% etc.) of plastic strips in soil and the 4 day
    soaked CBR Value is obtained
     Plate load tests were conducted with plain lateritic soil
    RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
     
    COMPACTION TEST:- From the compaction curve, the maximum dry
    density and optimum moisture content were obtained as 18.95kN/m3 and
    11.22 % respectively.
     The use of plastic wastes has significantly helped in ground improvement.

     This new technique of soil stabilisation can be effectively used to meet the
    challenges of society, producing useful material from non-useful waste
    materials.

     It can significantly enhance the properties of the soil used in the


    construction of road infrastructure. Results include a better and longer
    lasting road with increased loading capacity.
