Abstract |
|
Rapid urbanization and globalization results in the large amount of generation of plastic in the world. In recent years the annual consumption of plastic waste in the world has increased nearly 100 million tonnes. The soil stabilization technique is used effectively in order to decrease the waste quantities from industries, producing useful materials from non-useful waste materials. The plastic strips which are obtained from waste plastic are randomly mixed with the soil. A series of tests such as proctor compaction and unconfined compression strength test (UCS) were conducted on the soil by adding different percentage 0 %, 0.5 %, 1.0 %, 1.5 %, 2.0 % of plastics strips. The UCS and proctor compaction test results indicated that the addition of plastic strips to the soil increased the strength and maximum dry density. |
