Dynamic Properties of Sand Reinforced with Recycled High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
This study focuses on the improvement of dynamic properties of sand with the addition of recycled high impact polystyrene (HIPS) which is an e-waste. It is a cost-effective plastic material processed from tough polystyrene resins which have high impact resistance and dimensional stability. It has a wide application in the manufacturing of low-strength structural components, machined prototypes and computer components. Hence, it results in a large amount of e-waste after disposal. Due to its toughness and impact resistance, it can be used along with sand to improve its strength parameters. The effect on static and dynamic strength of sand for various proportions of recycled HIPS is studied. Dynamic properties like the coefficient of uniform and nonuniform elastic compression and shear values are the input parameters to predict the ground response. Those parameters were identified from the laboratory tests. The bearing capacity of reinforced and unreinforced sand was obtained from plate load tests. The cyclic plate load tests were done, and it is found that there is an increase in the values of the coefficient of uniform elastic compression and shear modulus. The dynamic properties for reinforced and unreinforced sand were obtained, analyzed, and compared.
