Soil Stabilization By Using Plastic Waste Collected From College

Soil stabilization is the best method for improving physical properties of the soil like shear strength, bearing capacity etc.And it make more stable.For soil stabilization Different Stabilizer such as cement, broken bricks, fly ash, gypsum etc. can be used.But, these admixtures are expensive and their use for soil stabilization is limited.In some Study it is discovered that usage of waste material like plastic, bamboo, paper etc. are more helpful in stabilization of soil.In present world there is scarcity of good soil which makes construction process hard.So to improve the properties of soil so it can be used for various building construction there is need to add the suitable admixture in soil.These admixture should enhance properties of soil and also be low cost.In this study plastic bottles are used as an Stabilizer.The waste plastic bottles are cut into small strips and these strips are added in the soil in different percentage of 0%, 3%, 5% and 7.5% of dry weight of soil.MDD test is conducted in the soil which increases the CBR values soil.And CBR improve the Strength of Soil.
