Soil is mainly the foundation of structure, that actually supports the structure from its beneath and hold it for a life long time and spread the load uniformly. If the stability of a soil would not be proportionate enough to hold or to support the structure then the chances of the breakdown of the structure might occur in the true form of its settlement and development of cracks. So, the soil stabilization will help in enhancing the shear strength of the soil as well as it enhancing the shrinkage and swelling properties of soil. It will also help in increasing the load bearing capacity of our soil in support of foundations and pavements. Soil stabilization can also be done by using the various admixtures such as lime, fly ash, cment etc. but in present day, these admixtures happen to be more expansive to be use as soil stabilizing mixture. So this problem is demanding an alternative solution in making the soil stabilizing process cheap and economic by using wastes as a stabilizer.This research work present the use of excess waste generated in our present and make it hazardeous. India generates nearly around 2600-2700 tons of plastic wastes everyday which is seriously one of the major problems not too for the India but also for the whole world. The harmful gases being generated by the various plastics such as furnace, dioxin, mercury e.t.c. into the open atmosphere and have a threat to our vegetation, humans life and animals as well. In the past recent years, the researchers from the various fields have attempt their best to solved the ecological problems occurred by plastic. But our major motive of this project is to properly analyse the potential capabilities of using plastic types as a stabilizer as well as sugarcane bagasse and its ashes. Bagasse ash as we all know, spread generally over the farms and dumped in ponds which causes severe environmental problems and also many researchers stated that ashes being dumped in the open workplace exposure can cause chronic lung infections. So there is seriously a major concern to reuse the sugarcane bagasse ash. This new techniques of soil stabilization could be essentially meet the various challenges in terms environmental concern. Plastic wastes being converted into chips will be used as a reinforcement in stabilizing the soil. So recommendation of using plastic waste and bagasse ash as a soil stabilizer will reduce the problem of disposing wastes and also helps to reduce the environmental problems.
