| Summary: |
Abstract: A study has been undertaken to investigate the strength of stabilized clay-soil
reinforced with randomly distributed discrete plastic waste fibers by carrying out unconfined
compressive strength and tensile-split strength test. In this study, the clay soil was stabilized
with lime and rice husk ash mixtures. The effect of the fiber length and content on the
compressive and split tensile strength was investigated. The laboratory investigation results
show that inclusion of the plastic waste fiber increased significantly both the unconfined
compressive strength and tensile-split strength of the stabilized clay soil. The fiber length plays a
significant contribution in increasing the soil strength. To contribute for any significant
improvement on compression as well as tensile strength, the fiber length should be in range of 20
mm to 40 mm. Fiber reinforcements also reduced soil brittleness by providing smaller loss of
post-peak strength. |
