    GUIDE-: Mr.M.Prudhvi Raj (Assistant professor)

    INTRODUCTION
    Soil stabilization is a process, can be made by adding suitable admixtures such as cement,
    lime, fly ash (waste materials) phosphogypsum etc which increases the shear strength,
    bearing capacity etc, that leads to improve the physical properties of soil.
    Waste plastic materials are reused because it can be remoulded /recycled by no. of times,
    thus wastage is reduced. Uses of these plastic waste for improving the properties of soil,
    effective method of stabilization. Inversely the soil shear strength and load bearing
    capacity. Uses of plastic materials are increased day by day, vice- versa disposal of plastic
    increases the waste plastic material in municipal soild waste.

    AIM
    The Aim of this concept is Use of these plastic waste for improving the properties of
    soil, effective method of stabilization. Inversely the soil shear strength and load
    bearing capacity. Uses of plastic materials are increased day by day, vice- versa
    disposal of plastic increases the waste plastic material in municipal soild waste.

    OBJECTIVE
    ➢ Utilization of waste plastic materials as an admixture for soil stabilization.
    ➢ Increase the shear quality of soil and load bearing limit of soil.
    ➢ Increase the higher resistance values by controlling shrink-swell properties of
    the soil.
    ➢ Reduces plasticity index, lower permeability and reduction of pavement
    thickness by increases the bearing capacity of soil subgrade i.e. addition of raw
    plastic bottles.
    ➢ Improving the soil gradation, useful for construction of good pavement.
    ➢ Increases the durability and strength of the soil.

    LITRATURE REVIEW
    The compaction tests were done to assess the amount of compaction and the
    water content required. The water content at which the maximum dry density is
    attained is obtained from the relationships provided by the tests. The California Bearing
    Ratio test is conducted for the soil by adding plastic strips with varying percentage of
    0.2 i.e.0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% etc. and determines the strength of soil until the strength
    reaches the highest level and stop at the interval when strength decreasing from the
    highest. Plot the graph and calculate the bearing value for 2.5mm penetration and 5mm
    penetration and value of 2.5mm penetration and 5mm penetration is recorded. Then
    finally plot a graph of Percentage of Plastic content and CBR value and obtained the
    maximum CBR value corresponds to percentage of plastic content

    METHODOLOGY

    ➢ In order to conduct this study, various materials such as lateritic soil,


    plastic bottles (both cut and uncut), sea sand and synthetic threads
    were used
    ➢ The Standard Proctor Compaction tests were done to assess the
    amount of compaction
    ➢ The California Bearing Ratio test was conducted to determine the
    optimum amount of plastic strips in soi. This is done by mixing soil with
    varying percentages (0.0%, 0.2% , 0.4% etc.) of plastic strips in soil and
    the 4 day soaked CBR Value is obtained
    ➢ Plate load tests were conducted with plain lateritic soil
    Expected Outcome
    In our day to day life the plastic material products such as bottles, polythene carry bags
    usage has become more, because of which today we find that more wastage is of the plastic
    material. Hence in order to get the best out of this wastage. The plastic stripes were made
    out of this plastic wastage and are used in making the payment and it is found that there is
    an increase in the strength of the soil. California Bearing Ratio test was carried out to find
    the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content.
