Plastics As Soil Stabilization
Soil Stabilization
The soil stabilization means the improvement of stability or bearing power of the soil by the use of controlled compaction, proportioning and/or the addition of suitable admixture or stabilizers.
Basic Principles of Soil Stabilization….
Evaluating the properties of given soil
Deciding the lacking property of soil and choose
effective and economical method of soil stabilization
Designing the Stabilized soil mix for intended stability
and durability values
Need for Soil Stabilization
Limited Financial Resources to Provide a complete network Road System to build in conventional method
Effective utilization of locally available soils and other suitable stabilizing agents.
Encouraging the use of Industrial Wastages in building low cost construction of roads.
Plastic As Soil Stabilizer
The possible benefits of plastics as soil stabilizer is very positive in the modern day lifestyle. we have had heard a lot of bad effects of many plastic materials when they are directly thrown in the cultivating soil. But, this new dimension in the scientific research have made many of us so happy. The world has ignored the efficient use of plastics in our daily works as it is harmful in many ways. after reading this
SOIL STABILIZATION BY WASTE PLASTIC FIBERS
In the investigation done by S A Naeini and S M Sadjadi,(2008) ,the waste polymer materials has been chosen as the reinforcement material and it was randomly included in to the clayey soils with different plasticity indexes at five different percentages of fiber content (0%, 1%,2%, 3%, 4%) by weight of raw soil.CBR tests are conducted by Behzad Kalantari, Bujang B.K. Huat and Arun Prasad, (2010) and their experimental findings are analysed with
Use of plastic products such as polythene bags,
bottles, containers and packing strips etc. is increasing day by day. As a result amount of waste plastic also increased. This will leads to various environmental problems. Many of the wastes produced today will remain in the environment for many years leading to various environmental concerns. Therefore it is necessary to utilize the wastes effectively with technical development in each field. Many by-products are being produced using the plastic
California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
CBR tests have been conducted on the undisturbed peat soil as well as stabilized peat soil with cement and polypropylene fibers. For the stabilized peat soil with cement (mixture of peat soil and cement) the soil samples used were samples at their natural moisture contents of about 200%. Specified dosage of cement and polypropylene fibers were mixed well with the peat soil for uniformity and homogeneity, before molding the samples according to the
