Stabilization and Reinforcing of Soft Soils with Various Materials Including PET Strips – A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Research In Engineering & Management. - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Pollution due to solid waste is one the emerging problems of world. Among the waste materials plastic is the non-biodegradable material which needs decades to decompose completely. However, up to its complete decomposition it is often that it occupies the most visible part of the landfills and causes serious environmental issues to the society. The major type of plastic waste is the PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic bottles which are used for mineral water and soft drinks. On the other hand, construction of foundation on highly compressible and expansive soils with poor shear strength is highly risky. This paper presents the state of the stabilization and reinforcing of soft / expansive soils with different materials. In order to have one more step towards sustainable geotechnics the study concludes the object as “Improvement of Geotechnical Properties of Clayey soil Using Waste Plastic Bottles Strips as Reinforcement”.
