Abstract
Reutilization of waste materials in constructional activities is always preferable due to the economical point of view and as an environmentally friendly approach. Hence the use of recycled plastics, which is always creating lots of environmental issues as an additive in soils during constructional activities is an economic alternative for many soil improvement techniques. In this study two form of by products produced during different stages of plastic recycling process is directly used as an additive for soil samples. The shear strength and compressibility characteristics of two different types of soil samples mixed with varying percentages of recycled products are evaluated. From the test results it was observed that the shear strength parameters of the sample were improved, and the compressibility parameters of the sample were reduced with addition of recycled plastic into the sample.
