Strength Behavior of Lime Stabilized Soil Reinforced with Waste Plastic Strips
Plastic which is a waste after its usage can be useful for improving the ground properties. Black cotton soils which are problematic for construction can be utilized safely by stabilizing it with lime and reinforcing it with waste plastic. The present study deals with the strength behavior of stabilized swelling soil. Unconfined compression, triaxial and CBR tests have been conducted on the soil which is stabilized with 12% lime and mixing it with different (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1%) proportions of plastic waste. Plastic waste used in the study is thrown plastic bottles. These plastic bottles are made into small strips and mixed with lime stabilized soil. The strength characteristics of the stabilized soil are improved enormously after mixing it with plastic waste. This method is an economical method since plastic waste which is cheap and easily available is used as a reinforcement material instead of steel stirrups, plates, geosynthetics, etc.
