Abstract

The stability and performance of pavement structures largely depend on the strength and durability of the subgrade soil. Clayey soils, known for their low bearing capacity and high plasticity, often cause deformation and settlement problems in subgrades. To overcome these issues, soil stabilization techniques using waste and locally available materials have gained prominence. This review paper explores the effectiveness of stone dust and plastic bottle strips in improving the engineering properties of clayey soil. Stone dust, a byproduct of stone crushing, enhances soil strength and reduces plasticity, while plastic bottle strips improve ductility and tensile resistance. The combined use of these materials not only improves the mechanical behavior of clayey soil but also contributes to sustainable waste management and environmental protection.
