Abstract

Abstract: Soil is the most widely used and basic material for civil engineering. The soil is used for houses, walls, bridges and roads. The Earth provides various types of soil and varies in its properties, scale, composition and textures. The earth's soil is a natural fine grain rock that contains one or more minerals from Earth, which have metal oxides and traces of organic matter. Based on the structure, the clay has quite a range of characteristics. It's slow, and difficult to accelerate, and used for something small. This study is aimed at achieving soil engineering properties for subgrade. In the subgrade construction, waste plastic bottles are used from waste disposal and the application of raw waste soil reinforcement materials and tried to stabilize the clay soil in different strong lime percentages (2 percent, 4 percent, 6 percent, 8 percent, 10 percent, and 12 percent). Testing of the strength of the clay earth, like Maximum Dry Density (MDD) and California Bearing (CBR) was done at different plastic strip percentages. In order to measure improvements in technologies, the clay floor swelling index and the microscopic examination also are performed. Keywords: Clay soil, Lime, Plastic, fiber material.
