Soil stabilization could be a method of improvement of the physical and Engineering properties of soil, like increasing bearing capability, shear strength, etc. which may be utilized by dominant compaction or addition of appropriate blends like cement, lime and waste materials like ash, Plastic bottles etc. Recently, the utilization of plastic product, like polythene (PE) bottles and polypropylene (PP), has been considerably increased, which can cause several environmental problems. Therefore, it's vital to seek out strategies to manage these waste materials while not inflicting any ecological hazards. one in every of these strategies is to use plastic wastes as soil device material. This new technique of soil stabilization may be effectively wont to meet the challenges of society, to cut back the quantities of waste, manufacturing helpful material from non-useful waste materials. The impact of the stabilization was evaluated through polishing off normal laboratory tests. The take a look ats embrace normal compaction test, Unconfined compressive take a look at (UCS), triaxial shear take a look at, CBR etc. Plastic like searching luggage is employed to as reinforcement to perform the CBR studies whereas commixture with soil for rising engineering performance of sub grade soil. Plastic strips obtained from waste plastic were mixed indiscriminately with the soil. A series of California bearing quantitative relation (CBR) tests were allotted on indiscriminately strengthened soil by varied proportion of plastic strips with completely different lengths and proportions.
