ABSTRACT
The first principle in construction works is to have resistant land to build a building. Soil improvement is one of the common methods of improving geotechnical properties and increasing the usability of soil materials. One of the ways to improve the properties of the soil and transform the land into a place where construction is possible is to modify the soil by using additives to it. The use of waste as a material to improve the physical properties of the soil has attracted the attention of researchers. Among these wastes, we can mention rubber wastes, which, in addition to the large volume they occupy, will also cause environmental pollution. In this article, the effect of adding plastic bottle ash on the Zetterberg range and paste properties, the California bearing ratio, and the resistance properties of clay mixed with sand has been investigated. The results of the laboratory tests obtained from this research show the improvement of soil properties by adding plastic bottle ash.
Keywords: Clay, Fine-grained soil, Sand, Ash, Plastic bottles, Geotechnical properties, and CBR.
