Abstract

The stabilization of black cotton soil, a problematic expansive soil, is crucial for improving its strength and durability in infrastructure projects. This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing waste plastic fibers collected from college premises as a sustainable stabilizing material for black cotton soil. By integrating plastic waste into soil stabilization techniques, this research aims to reduce plastic pollution while enhancing soil properties for construction applications.
