Abstract:
Soil stabilization can be done through many ways. But the stabilization using waste plastic is an economic method since the stabilizer used here is a waste plastic material, which is easily available. The main objective of this study is to investigate the use of waste plastic materials in geotechnical applications and to evaluate the effects of waste plastic powder on bearing capacity of clay soil by carrying out CBR tests on different soil samples. The results obtained are compared for the samples and inferences are drawn towards the usability and effectiveness of plastic powder stabilization as a replacement for deep foundation or raft foundation, as a cost effective approach. Use of plastic products such as polyethene bags, bottles, containers, packing strips etc are increasing day by day. As a result amount of waste plastic is also increased. This results in various changes in environmental condition. Many of the waste produced today will remain in the environment for many years leading to various environmental pollutions. Therefore it is necessary to utilize the wastes effectively with technical development in each field. Many by-products are being produced using the plastic wastes. Various research works are done on the possible use of waste plastic for soil stabilization and the results indicate that by the addition of plastic powder in soil, there is an increase in shear strength, tensile strength, California Bearing Ratio and decreases in the swelling and cracking effects of soil. In this project I am going to compare the effects of lime and waste plastic in soil stabilization.
