Introduction
Soil stabilisation means the improvement of stability or bearing
capacity of the soil by the use of controlled compaction,
proportioning and/or the addition of suitable admixture or
stabilisers.

The objective of this study is to improve the characteristics at
site and make soil capable of carrying load and to increase the
shear strength by decrease the compressibility of the soil.
10
In order to conduct this study, various materials such as
lateritic soil, plastic bottles (both cut and uncut), sea sand and
synthetic threads were used.
The Standard Proctor Compaction tests were done to assess
the amount of compaction
The California Bearing Ratio test was conducted to determine
the optimum amount of plastic strips in soil. This is done by
mixing soil with varying percentages (0.0%, 0.2%, 0.4% etc.)
of plastic strips in soil and the 4 day soaked CBR Value is
obtained
Plate load tests were conducted with plain lateritic soil
11
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
COMPACTION TEST:- From the compaction curve, the maximum dry
density and optimum moisture content were obtained as 18.95kN/m3 and
11.22 % respectively.
