---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract - Using plastic bottles as soil stabilizer is an economical method because there is no good soil for embankments. This
project includes detailed research on the use of waste plastic bottles in soil stabilization. The analysis is done by performing various tests on soil samples consisting of sand and clay using plastic strips. Comparison of experimental results shows that the proportion of soil structure increases with the increase of plastic material. The ideal percentage of plastic strips in the soil was found by the California Bearing Ratio Test and a direct evaluation was made based on the percentage. The size and content of waste plastic bottle strips have a significant impact on the development of soil energy.
Key Words: Soil Stabilization, CBR, Plastic fibers.
1.INTRODUCTION Manage compaction, proportion and/or add necessary materials or stabilizers so the soil can be built up. The principles of soil stability are: evaluating the properties of the given soil, determining the nature of the soil’s potential, and choosing a good method and maintaining soil stabilization. Stabilized soil mixture is designed to provide the desired stability and durability values. Stabilization can increase the shear strength of the soil and/or control the shrinkage-swelling properties of the soil, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the subgrade to support the pavement and foundation. Environmental problems. They now block landfills and waterways, clog drains, disrupt ecological cycles and create an unsightly environment. This situation causes great harm to animals, plants and human life. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are plastic medicine bottles with high usage costs. They are used in packaging water, soft drinks, soup and many other beverages. As demand increases, their maintenance becomes increasingly difficult. It takes a long time (more than a century) for waste PET bottles to decompose in nature. Recycling and using these plastic bottles to stabilize expanded clay is a move in the right direction and makes the construction industry a suitable candidate as it can be consumed in large quantities. It would be a good choice to eliminate and protect the environment by disposing of plastic bottles.
2. OBJECTIVES
The main purpose of this study is to identify ground equipment that uses plastic bottle waste products and the environment while supporting the soil understand. The agent can increase the shear and tensile strength CBR value of the soil. To improve load carrying capacity of soil Using plastic strips and lime as a stabilizer which increases shear, tensile strength CBR value of the soil.
3. MATERIALS 1. Plastic in shredded form. 2. Sandy soil taken from Pondy Marina 3. Clayey soil taken from Thiruchitrambalam koot Road
4. METHODOLOGY 4.1 Sieve Analysis: Soil sieve analysis, also known as particle size analysis testing, determines the percentage of each particle size in a soil sample. The results of this testing can be used to create particle size distribution curves that help classify soils and predict their behavior. This test is performed using a series of metal mesh sieves with graduated mesh sizes. Pour the heavy soil
