Abstract |
|
In geotechnical engineering there are number of solutions available for stabilizing the soil mass. Stabilization of soil can improve the bearing capacity of soil. But stabilizing the soil by using plastic waste is a green approach as disposal of plastics is great problem. Plastic waste is very big element of municipal solid waste and industrial waste and its disposal is also big issue for Municipal Corporation. Plastic waste is available in form of plastic bags, shopping bags, plastic bottles, packing strips etc. In this project work strips made out of plastic bags were used to stabilize the soil collected from canal road near Althan, in Surat city. The advantage of this material is its less weight and easy availability. In this project work strips made out of plastic bags were used to stabilize the black cotton soil that is mostly common in Surat region. |
