  • Abstract:
  • Infrastructure is a key sector that drives the overall development of the Indian economy. The foundation is very important for any structure and it must be strong enough to support that entire structure. For the foundation to be strong, the soil surrounding it plays a very important role. Expansive soils such as soil always cause foundation problems. The problems are swelling shrinkage and uneven settlement. Plastic waste has become one of the major problems in the world. The use of plastic bags, bottles and other plastic products is increasing significantly year by year. Because of this we face various environmental problems. The research work is presented here focusing on soil stabilization using plastic waste products. Tests such as liquid limit, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) were conducted to check the improvement in the properties of soil.
