Abstract: The primary goals of this research are to (a) determine the feasibility of using recycled plastic bottle fiber and stone dust
as strips to stabilize clayey subgrade soil and (b) assess the impact of these materials on the geotechnical characteristics of the
soil. The engineering properties of poor soil can be enhanced through the process of soil stabilization, which involves the addition
of stabilizers such as cement, fly ash, rice husk ash, lime, allcofine, etc. The stabilizing agents utilized in this investigation include
stone dust and plastic fiber. There is a lot of stone dust, which is a solid waste product easily obtainable from stone crushers.
Between fifteen and twenty-five percent of the output from each crusher unit ends up in the trash. More and more people are
throwing away plastic bottles, which is a solid waste material that isn't good for the environment and needs to be recycled or used
to stabilize soil. The stability of clayey soil was investigated in this study using varying percentages of stone dust that passed
through an IS filter of 150 micron, namely 2%, 4%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 16%, and 20%. Working through each of these
percentages individually, we found that 7% was the sweet spot, and now we can use it to do tests like Standard Proctor and CBR
using plastic bottle strips. The percentages of plastic extracted were 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.2%, 1.6%, and 2.0%. We mixed soil samples
with various percentages of plastic strips and the optimal amount of stone dust (7% by weight) to see how the mixing affected the
soil's OMC, MDD, swell index, and CBR qualities. set IV. Those who have worked with me on this dissertation, including

1.1 General Information
Soil is a great and pleasant material to use when building highways. Understanding the characteristics and practicality of soil is
crucial prior to its utilization in any form of building procedure.The soil employed in this investigation is clayey. Inanimate clay
with compressibility ranging from medium to high makes up the clayey soil. As a soil type, clay exhibits both high shrinkage and
puffiness. When dry, clay soil is very firm, yet it becomes very soft and crumbly when wet.Soil stabilization refers to the process
of modifying soil in order to improve their physical characteristics.Improved engineering properties and increased stability are
two outcomes of soil stabilization. Soil stabilization primarily aims to improve a subgrade's load bearing capacity to sustain
pavement and foundations by increasing the soil's shear strength and controlling its shrink swell characteristics. The primary goal
is to reduce the building cost. One long-established technique for increasing the stability of earth embankments is the use of
waste materials for soil stabilization, such as plastic bottle strips. Plastics last a long time and break down slowly. Common types
of waste plastic include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly vinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and
low density polyethylene (LDPE). The utilization of PET strips from used plastic bottles to enhance soil engineering qualities is
the subject of this research.Similarly, stone dust is frequent in rubble quarries and aggregates as a result of the increased demand
for these materials in the construction process. One of the byproducts of crushing stone is stone dust, which accounts for around
15–25 percent of the overall output from each crusher unit.Soil stabilization is commonly used for organic soils, clayey peat, silt,
and other spongy soils. In order to determine the engineering and environmental properties of the soil, it is important to conduct
laboratory tests and field tests. Soil is a material that naturally occurs as a result of the ongoing geologic cycle. Many physical and
chemical processes wear down the exposed rocks and divide them. The soil is transferred to new sites by means of transportation,
such as water and wind, which deposit it there. Soil is said to have been transferred when it is still in its formation and is located
just above the parent rock. The majority of sedimentary soils' engineering characteristics change substantially between the upper
and lower layers. In most cases, the engineering characteristics of the rock at the site of deposit differ from those of the
transported soil. The soil is typically consistent in texture and becomes somewhat thick and compacted during transportation.

1.2 REQUIREMENTS AND BENEFITS
It is necessary to stabilize the soil in order to increase its load bearing capacity and to make it easier to predict its load bearing
capacity, since the qualities of soil vary greatly and the load bearing capacity of the soil is a major factor in building
buildings. A 150 micron IS sieve was utilized to filter the stone dust that is used in soil. According to the IS regulations, the index
parameters of the stone dust were established. The proportions of soil sample to it were as
follows:2%,4%,6%,7%,8%,10%,12%,16%, and 20%. By the soil's dry weight. Optimal results
For these percentages were found to be 7%, and it is on this optimal figure that tests such as Standard Proctor, swelling index, and
CBR should be carried out.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW The experimental study to evaluate the CBR behavior of waste plastic strip reinforced with stone
dust/fly ash over saturated clay was noticed by R.K. Dutta and V.K. Sarda (2006). In this investigation, three distinct sizes of old
plastic strips were utilized. Strip reinforced-stone dust/fly ash overlying saturated clay had its CBR and secant modulus tested,
with length and percentage of waste plastic strips ranging from 0.25 to 4 percent. An increase in the CBR and secant modulus of
the mixture was observed when waste plastic strip was added to stone dust/fly ash on top of saturated clay, according to the
study. The reinforcing advantage was found to be proportional to the length and composition of the discarded plastic strips. There
is no discernible improvement in CBR or secant modulus with the addition of discarded plastic strips above 2%. When it comes to
increasing the system's behavior, reinforced stone dust outperforms reinforced fly ash over saturated clay. You can safely dispose
of these waste materials in an eco- friendly way by using the material in base courses while building rural roads over wet clay.
The effects of lime on various geotechnical characteristics of expansive soil stabilized with the optimal percentage of quarry dust
were investigated by Orekanti eshwara reddy et.al. in their publication. With each successive 1% increase, the lime content rose
from 2% to 7%. This mixture was subjected to a battery of tests, including Atterberg's limit, compaction, 31 consolidated
undrained triaxial compression, and durability. Researchers also looked at how shear strength changed after 7 and 28 days of cure.
After analyzing the soil-quarry dust mixes, it was found that the addition of lime improved their durability, plasticity, shrinkage
limit, cohesiveness, angle of internal friction, optimal moisture content, and reduced their liquid limit and plasticity index. Shear
parameters were positively impacted by curing. Mr. A.K. The publication by Sabat et.al. have tested the soil's compaction
characteristics and the impact of crusher dust lime. For the purpose of determining the mix's qualities, they have added quarry
dust to soil samples at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, and 70% levels, increasing by 10% increments. Their
findings indicate that the plastic limit drops when crusher dust is added to expanding soil liquid limits. Bhubaneshwar
B.M. Abrahan et.al. provided the expanding dirt and stone dust used in their experiments. Investigated the potential of
quarry dust for use in pavement and embankment building. According to their findings, quarry dust has a high specific
gravity and shear strength, and the saturated CBR value for conventional compaction is approximately 23%, while for
modified compaction it is around 49%. Research by Naman Aggarwal et al. (2015) on the topic of stone dust
stabilized road design revealed that the soil's geotechnical properties are crucial. The first set of tests on soil samples
with stone dust included compaction, specific gravity, the California bearing ratio, unconfined compression strength,
direct shear, and consistency limit; the second set of tests used the same percentage of stone dust by dry weight of soil
(32%). According to the results of the laboratory experiments, the soil qualities might be improved by mixing stone
dust with the soil. The enormous uptick in building projects is directly attributable to the burgeoning populations and
industrialization. Road traffic is increasing at a rapid pace, drawing ever-narrower distances between cities and towns.
There isn't enough space to create anything from buildings to roads, highways, and airports. Building on the available
land might not be the best idea. Black cotton, clayey, or loamy soils are all possible. If the current site conditions
aren't sturdy enough, the load can easily topple over. Soil stabilization, soil reinforcement, and other ground
improvement techniques have emerged as solutions to these problems. Mechanical soil stabilization is a practical and
dependable method. A cohesive clayey soil was selected and its geotechnical qualities, along with other general soil
characteristics, were assessed by altering the concentration of stone dust. This was done since clayey soil is known to
be suitable for mechanical stabilization. Buildings, roads, railway ballast, and concrete work all require crushed
stone, and this demand is rising as a result of the uptick in construction activities. A vast array of crusher equipment is
set up for the purpose of stone crushing. Stone dust is created during primary and secondary crushing, screening,
stock stacking, and blasting, whereas aggregates are made by mechanically crushing and pulverizing stones. The
majority of stone dust is generated via 33 different crushing processes. This is an unwanted byproduct that causes
pollution and creates a disposal and stockpiling concern at the crusher site. Improving poor soil for road building and
developing a model for assessing CBR value were the main aims of the study by Abeer Sabri Bshara et al., which
examined the effect of stone dust on geotechnical qualities of poor soil. The usage of crushed stone has increased due
to the high amount of construction operations in the building, road, and concrete industries. This is why there are so
many crusher plants spread out over the nation. As a result of the crushing, screening, and stock piling processes,
stone dust is produced. Pollution and stockpiling are issues caused by this waste product at the crushing facility. Some
of the factors that limit the expansion of construction activities include limited area, poor soil properties, and
geological obstacles. Problematic soil types include expansive soil, wet land, soft clays, and loamy soil. The site's
current conditions might not be suitable for supporting the loads that are about to be placed on them. The foundation
experiences settling issues due to variations in strength caused by changes in moisture content. Neither stabilization
nor replacement will do in this situation. Adding locally sourced, cheaply available crusher waste to the clayey soil
improves its properties and helps keep construction costs down. 34 In their review on the topic of improving the
engineering properties of soil using waste plastic bottle strips, Jaswinder Singh et al. sought to identify the most
effective and cost-effective material for soil stabilization, taking into consideration both virgin and waste materials.
Researchers have been looking for the most effective and cost-effective material for soil stabilization, including
both virgin and waste materials, for a long time. However, studies never conclude, and new ideas emerge daily. As a

research student, I wanted to find a new way to stabilize soil, so I thought of recycling plastic bottles that people throw
away, such as empty PET bottles from soda and other drinks. I had no idea that there was such a big issue with
disposing of such high-quality PET waste until I saw some shocking data online that said almost no one drinks PET
bottles and even less recycle them (for health reasons). The civil administration has a lot of trouble controlling their
disposal because these are not being used, which is a major burden. Since it may have been employed in a different
way by other researchers, I decided to use it as a method of my research for soil stabilization in order to turn a subtlety
into an absolutely helpful application. The purpose of my research is to examine the effects of reusing plastic bottle
strips on the soil's clayey qualities. 35 years old. The use of waste fiber material for soil stabilization was the subject
of research by Ramakrishna Reddy and colleagues. By conducting direct shear tests and unconfined compression tests
on two separate soil samples, his research aims to evaluate the impact of waste polypropylene fibers on the shear
strength of unsaturated soil and to investigate the potential geotechnical uses of these fibers. We evaluate the two
samples' outcomes and draw conclusions on fiber reinforcement's usefulness and effectiveness as a cost-effective
alternative to deep foundation or raft foundation. In order to achieve the desired qualities in the soil that are necessary
for the construction project, the stabilization technique is employed. Soil property enhancement has been a
fundamental need since the start of construction. Many techniques utilized by ancient Chinese, Roman, and Incase
civilizations to improve soil quality and stability are still in use today; as a result, many of these civilizations'
buildings and roadways have survived. The infrastructure industry is a driving force behind India's economic growth,
according to research by Devashish kushwahi et al. on the topic of soil-plastic mix methods. Any building must have
a solid foundation that can hold the weight of the entire construction. The soil around a foundation is crucial to its
stability. Foundation issues are inevitable in expansive soils such as black cotton soil. Enlargement, contraction, and
uneven settlement are the issues. One of the biggest issues facing the globe today is the accumulation of plastic trash.
The annual growth rate of plastic product consumption, including bags, bottles, and more, is staggering. Because of
this, we are encountering a range of environmental issues. The proper disposal of plastic garbage without endangering
the environment has thus become an important concern in modern times. Here we give a review study that focuses on
strategies that have been researched for soil stabilization using waste plastic goods. Soil behavior when combined
with varying percentages of waste plastic, such as 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight of concrete, will be investigated. Soil
properties are highly unpredictable when exposed to fluctuating moisture levels. Its volume changes dramatically in
both dry and wet environments. This is because there is a mineral called active clay present. When water fills up the
spaces in soil, the soil's strength changes. The on-site job of civil engineers, particularly those laying foundations, is
made more difficult by these alterations. On a yearly basis, there is a 10% increase in the usage of various forms of
plastic. Depending on the size of the city and the living standards of the region, the rate of garbage creation in Indian
cities can vary between 0.20 to 0.87 Kg/day. In India, garbage production is growing at a rate of around 1.3%
annually per capita. Approximately 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. The CBR value of virgin
soil was 1.59 in the study by Dhananjay Kumar tiwari et al. (2016) that examined the stabilization of black cotton soil
utilizing stone dust and polypropylene fibers. The study was based on experimental analysis. It was discovered that
the maximum CBR value was 5.79% with 10% stone dust and 1.00% polypropylene fibers, respectively, as a
result of the addition of these materials. After adding 10% stone dust and 1.00% fiber to the soil, the unconfined
compressive strength (UCS) increased from 11.76 N/CM2 in virgin soil to
25.92 N/CM2. Soil made of black cotton can expand or contract depending on the amount of water present. Soil has expanding
properties, which means that buildings built on top of it may eventually crack. Therefore, in order to enhance its engineering
features, stabilizing such soils before construction work is done is required. Various regions of our nation are currently overrun
with waste products such as plastic trash, stone dust from crushers, and fly ash from industries. The disposal of these wastes is a
major issue for our society, and they also pose health risks. In this research, we discuss the results of a feasibility study that
looked at the possibility of stabilizing black cotton soil using waste materials like stone dust and polypropylene fibers. The goal
was to improve the soil's engineering capabilities. Soil samples were created by mixing stone dust and polypropylene fibers with
black cotton soil at varying percentages. Various tests, such as CBR and UCS, were then conducted on the samples. The results of
these tests suggest that stabilizing black cotton soil with stone dust and 38 polypropylene fibers significantly increases its
strength. This soil has various uses, including in the construction of civil engineering structures on flexible grounds. Stabilizing
expansive soil involves the use of various additions such as lime, cement, cohesion-less materials (such as sand and flyash),
quarry dust, GGBS, and various others. Reinforcement can be embedded in a variety of forms, including strips, grids, and sheet
materials. Soil engineering and mechanical property improvement encompasses a wide range of practices. Modern methods for
improving soil quality include randomly mixing soil additives and fibers before laying them down after compaction. There are a
lot of groups and individuals conducting extensive investigations on waste materials to determine their environmental suitability
and practicality. The extremely adjustable and flexible nature of the reinforced earth approach has made it a popular choice in
civil engineering for a variety of applications, including the construction of civil engineering structures on flexible grounds.
Along with Prasad Paithane and Sujit Vaijwade, et. al. According to al. (2018), the purpose of this research is to examine the

geotechnical uses of waste stone dust (5%, 10%, 15%) and plastic glass strips (0.5, 1.0, 1.5%), and to determine how these
materials affect the desired optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD). In addition, the impact on the
CBR value when the material is not wet. It follows that the CBR percentage rises with a soil content of up to 15% stone dust and
1.5% plastic strips, and then falls as the concentration of both materials increases. Accordingly, the ideal soil material content is
15% stone dust and 1.5% plastic strips. With 15% stone dust and 1.5% plastic strip, the optimal moisture content is 39.18
percent, and the maximum dry density is 1.94 grams per cubic centimeter. Soils with a mineralogical makeup that causes them to
undergo substantial volumetric strains or expansions in response to changes in moisture are known as expansive or swelling soils.
When dealing with expansive soil, another successful way is to stabilize it with chemicals that reduce the amount of volume
change caused by swelling. Minerals found in clay are the result of prolonged physical and chemical weathering of the original
substance. The black cotton soil with varying percentages of polypropylene fiber was tested in a laboratory setting. The
percentages tested were 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% by mass of desiccated soil. The results showed that adding polypropylene
fiber reduced the soil's plasticity index, which in turn reduced the liquid limit and plastic limit. The compatibility of the soil also
increased, leading to the formation of dense and hard soil, and the UCS CBR values rose, suggesting that it is a good stabilizer for
proving the preformation of soft soil. Using a modified version of Proctor's test on expansive soil and soil combined with varying
percentages of quarry dust and polypropylene fiber waste, tests were performed in a controlled laboratory environment on clay
soil that had been fortified with these materials. Substituting 25% quarry dust and polypropylene fibers (10 mm, 15 mm, and 20
mm length) with varying percentages of 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75% for the soil resulted in no discernible change to the overall
mechanical compactness (OMC), but MDD decreased as fiber content increased, as did the average unit weight of solids in the
combined soil and fiber mixture. 40 Sagar E. Shinde, Azim A. Shaikh, et.al. (2017) investigated the feasibility of reusing
polypropylene fibers for use in geotechnical engineering projects, and they measured the effects of partial reusing on properties
such as specific gravity, compaction, shear strength, and more.
3. EXPERIMENTAL WORK
3.1 Collection OF MATERIALS The dirt used in the experiment came from Noble Geo Structs in Mulund East, Mumbai,
Maharashtra. A number of tests confirmed that the soil was, in fact, very flexible clayey. The ASHOKA project plant (on the
Ludhiana–Kharar route) was the source of the Sawdust ash. In contrast, Manibhadra Earthmovers of Maharashtra provided the
Terrazyme. Because of its expansive nature, black cotton soil is often called "expansive soils." Before building on top of this type
of soil, its geotechnical features must be studied. Among the soil's mineralogy, montmorillonite stands out for its massive
volume variation between rainy and dry seasons. The results of the tests are outlined in Section 3.2. 3.2 Test Procedure in order to
determine the different attributes. The primary objective of the experiment was to determine whether or not stone dust and plastic
bottle strips could be stabilized. Various tests were carried out on the materials utilized in the experimental study, and the results
are listed below: 1. Soil particle size distribution as determined by sieve experiments. 2. the soil's specific gravity 3. the upper
limit for liquids 4. The restriction on plastic 5. Wave height 6. Traditional soil proctor testing Ratio of California bearings (CBR)
7. Analysis of the 3.3 sieve In civil engineering, sieve analysis is a widespread practice. To evaluate the particle size distribution,
it is also known as a grading test. The dispersion of particles, sometimes known as the grading of granular substances. Any
granular substance, including clays, sand, rock, etc., can undergo sieve analysis. Sieve analysis is the most frequent approach
for analyzing both coarse-grained and fine-grained sige.
3.3.1 Sample Preparation Prior to beginning the experiment, let the soil sample air dry in an oven for a minimum of 24 hours. Soil
sample taken at the hamlet of Kurali, in the district of Ropar. Each sieve should hold the same weight in order to prepare a
soil sample of 1 kilogram. 3.3.2
Methodology Set of sieves, 4.75 micron, 2.75 micron, 1.18 micron, 0.600 micron, 0.300 micron, 0.150 micron

3.3.3 CALCULATION OF SIEVE ANALYSIS TEST

3.4 SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF SOIL A material's specific gravity can be calculated by comparing its weight in air at standard
temperature to that of distilled water in the same volume at the same temperature.The sign G is used to represent specific gravity.
3.4.1 APPARATUS USED Pycnometer, weighing balance with and accuracy of mm, glass rod
3.5 LIQUID LIMIT
The term "liquid limit" describes the water content of soil at which it becomes plastic. Soil water retention is proportional to the
amount of clay minerals in the soil. The liquid limit is directly proportional to the strength of the surface charge and the particle's
thickness; both factors increase the amount of water adsorbed. Because of its low shear strength and near-liquid consistency, clay
is the ultimate limit of liquid materials. 3.5.1 Methodology The following items are needed: a weighing scale, a sieve, a liquid
device, grooving tools, an oven, an evaporating dish, a spatula, and 425u. 3.5.2 Sampling Procedure A sample of the soil was
taken from the village of Kurali. According to IS2720, the soil was characterized as clayey, and the tests were carried out without
the use of any additives.

3.6 PLASTIC LIMIT Soil turns from plastic to semisolid or from plastic to plastic at a certain moisture content; this point
is sometimes called the plastic limit or lower plastic limit. Soil becomes semisolid at every level of increased moisture
content. Rolling it into threads with a diameter of 3mm causes it to start crumbling.
3.7.1 APPARATUS USED 425 nm is a sieve, 100 ml graduated glass cylinders, a 500 g balance, and a 0.1 g sensor.
3.7.2 Preparing the Sample Two 10-gram samples of dirt that has been ground and passed through a 425-micron IS sieve should
be dried in an oven. Transfer one hundred milliliters of soil sample to a 100 milliliter graduated glass cylinder. To fill both
cylinders to the 100 ml level, add distilled water to one and kerosene oil to the other. Gently shake or swirl with a glass rod to
release trapped air. Give the suspension at least 24 hours to settle into a steady condition. The last reading for each cylinder
should show the soil volume.
3.8 STANDARD PROCTOR TEST To learn about the compaction properties of various soils as they alter with moisture content,
the proctor test is used. The term "compaction" refers to the method by which soil is densified by eliminating air spaces.The dry
density of soil is a good indicator of how compacted it is.Reaching the ideal water content results in the highest dry density.
The ideal water content and maximum dry density can be determined by drawing a curve that connects the two
variables. We first determined the ideal soil moisture content and maximum dry density, and then we tested the soil
with varying percentages of stone dust and plastic fiber. Sample Preparation (3.8.1) We combined a 3-kilogram oven-
dried soil sample with varying amounts of water to determine the ideal moisture content and maximum dry density.
The water proportion ranged from 8% to 23%. That is in accordance with the requirements of IS
2720, section 7 from 1980. 3.8.2 Instruments Employed Rammer 2.6-kilogram compaction mold with a removable base plate and
IS sieved. 4.75 mm IS sieved, spatulas, trowels, and so forth.

3.9 CALIFORNIA BEARING RATIO (CBR) A material's resistance to a standard plunger's penetration under regulated density
and moisture conditions is measured by the California bearing ratio test. As a means of categorizing and assessing soil subgrade
and base course materials for flexible pavements, it was created by the California division of transportation. The CBR test
comprises penetrating the pavement component materials at a rate of 1.25 mm/min using a 50 mm diameter
cylindrical plunger, which can be performed in either remolded or undistributed samples. We recorded the load for 2.5
mm and 5 mm. For each deformation level, the CBR value is calculated by expressing this load as a percentage of the
standard load value. The CBR value is equal to the penetration load divided by the standard load, multiplied by 100.
Revision 3.91 Devices Employed Here are some items you may need: a cylindrical mold with dimensions of 150 mm
× 175 mm, a collar around 50 mm long, a removable perforated base, a compacion rammer, 2.5 kg surcharge weight
annular weights with dimensions of 147 mm × 4,75 mm IS sieve, coarse filter paper, a balance, and so on.

4. Results And Discussion
4.1 Gradation Of Soil By Sieve Analysis 4.1.1 Calculation Of Sieve Analysis (Parent Soil)
Percentage retained in sieve sige 4.75mm = retaining wt. in sieve / total wt. of retained in sieve x 100 Formula will be same for
each sieve till the end. Given below are results of sieve analysis drawn in table


4.4 PLASTIC LIMIT 4.4.1 OBSERVATION TABLE FOR PLASTIC LIMIT

4.6 STANDARD PROCTOR TEST 4.6.1 STANDARD PROCTOR TEST ON PARENT SOIL WITHOUT ANY ADMIXTURE








4.7 CALIFORNIA BEARING RATIO TEST We performed the cbr test on the parent soil sample while it was dry.To determine
the bearing capacity, a soil sample was supplemented with an additional 7% stone dust and varying percentages of plastic strips.
At penetrations ranging from 2.5 mm to 5 mm, the cbr values were examined. At a depth of 2.5 mm, the parent soil's cbr value is
2.35 percent.

Summary
Findings for OMC, MDD, and CBR values were derived from experimental investigations. If you mix soil with stone dust and
plastic strips, the maximum dry density will go up, but the ideal moisture content will go down. • Dependent on the usual proctor
evaluation. The ideal moisture level is 13% with 7% stone dust and 0.4% plastic strips, and the maximum dry density is 1.76
gm/cc. The MDD is dropping and the OMC is increasing while maintaining a constant proportion of stone dust at 7% and altering
the percentage of plastic strips.
