| Summary: |
Soil stabilization or soil treatment has been employed and developed time by
time. Fabrics are commonly used, especially polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl, or
polyethylene. Plastic rubbish is solid waste that comprised by PP. This paper described
them as soil reinforcement and their application. The fiber mixtures vary in length that
are 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm and the content 0.5%, 1% of dry weight. The main equipment
for this test is direct shear test (DST).
According the test result and discussion, it was shown that the rubbish (plastic
sack) has enhanced the shear strength of clay soil. Fiber content 0.5% is better than 1
% to provide shear resistance. The stability of embankment, analyze by Bishop Method
with RSS program, increased from 1.458 to be 2.247 at 0.5% fiber content – length 20
mm. |
