This is about a statement that the physical properties of soil easily improved by the process of soil stabilization like bearing capacity and increasing shear strength that controlled by certain things like addition of suitable admixtures or compaction like lime, cement, and fly ash, phosphogypsum waste materials etc. The following years there is an drastic hike in the cost of additives to open door broad development particularly which deals with soil additives like bamboo, plastics so and so. It is easy to challenge the society using this soil stabilization technique that can reduce the waste quantity, useful materials can be produced from non-useful waste materials leads to use the plastic products like bottles and polythene bags. This creates lot of environmental concerns that automatically increases day by day. The plastic waste’s disposal becomes a challenge and it should not cause any ecological hazards. The main economical utilization is to use the plastic bottles as a soil stabilizer that mat have a quality soil for embankments. This paper is about a short study on the use of waste plastic bottles for soil stabilization. It is analysed as per by the process of conducting engineering property and index property.

Abstract   

The primary objective of this research was to explore the potential utilization of waste materials, specifically recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), in combination with black cotton soil for pavement infrastructure. To achieve this goal, the study undertook both experimental and statistical analyses of subgrade layer properties stabilized with RCA and GGBS. Various mechanical properties, like California bearing ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS), were examined with different compositions. These compositions involved with the 15% replacement of soil to aggregate (natural and RCA) and binder (cement and GGBS). As a benchmark, no stabilization soil also considered in the investigation. The experimental findings indicated that soil stabilized with 10% natural aggregate and 5% cement offered higher result compared to other combinations considered. However, black cotton soil stabilized with 10% RCA and 5% GGBS also exhibited promising results in terms of CBR and UCS tests. To further validate these results, a probabilistic study was conducted, considering ten different probabilistic distributions. The selection of the best-fit distribution was based on goodness-of-fit (GOF) tests performed on available experimental data. However, out of ten distributions, the Log-normal distribution observed as most suitable for the soil, stabilized with RCA and GGBS. In summary, the integration of waste materials such as RCA and GGBS not only promising an acceptable result but also offering environmental benefits by contribute to the development of sustainable pavement construction.
