摘要:This research is concerned with the stabilization of fine sand using square pieces of waste plastic asadmixture. The work is regarding, how to make fine sand which has low compressive strength and thus has nilcohesion and high permeability, useful for construction of embankments for roads. This analysis discusses the potentialof fine sand stabilization with square pieces of square plastic as admixture. Present work has been taken up by additionof 5mm×5mm square pieces of waste plastic as admixture. The varying percentage 0.15%, 0.25, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1% ofsquare pieces of plastic waste were mixed with fine sand of different densities 1.51gm/cc, 1.54gm/cc and 1.58gm/cc(M.D.D.). All the Direct Shear Tests were conducted at different mix compositions of square pieces of plastic wasteand fine sand of different dry densities as arrived from Standard Proctor Test. Falling-Head Permeability Tests werealso performed on different mix compositions. On the basis of the experiments performed, it is determined that thestabilization of fine sand using square pieces of plastic waste as admixture improves the strength characteristics of thefine sand so that it becomes usable as construction of embankment.
