  • Abstract:
  • The Earth's ecosystem depends heavily on soil, but growing pollution from plastic waste especially PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles pose a major threat to the environment. Because of its low stability and shear strength, black cotton soil which is notorious for having a high potential for shrinkage and swelling due to moisture variation presents serious construction challenges. In this study, shredded PET bottle waste (less than 0.5 mm in size) is added in different amounts (3%, 5%, and 7%) to stabilize black cotton soil. The goal is to address the management of plastic waste and enhance the engineering qualities of troublesome soil. Standard Proctor, Unconfined Compressive Strength, Moisture Content, Plastic Limit Test, Liquid Limit Test, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Sieve Analysis, and Specific Gravity Test are examples of laboratory tests.
