摘要：Construction of buildings and other civil engineering structures on expansive soil is risky due to its highcompressibility, low shear strength and high permeability. The foundation is very important for any structure and it hasto be strong enough to support the entire structure. For foundation to be strong the soil around it plays a very importantrole. Expansive soils like black cotton soil always create problems in foundation. The problems are swelling, shrinkageand unequal settlement. Plastic wastes have become one of the major problems of the world. Use of plastic bags, bottlesand other plastic products is exponentially increasing year by year. Due to which we are facing various environmentalproblems. A review paper is presented here to focus on soil stabilization by using waste plastic products. The tests suchas liquid limit, plastic limit, standard proctor compaction test, California bearing ratio (CBR) test and unconfinedcompressive strength (UCS) have been conducted to check the improvement in the properties of black cotton soil. Thispaper reviews the work of various researchers on stabilization of soil and use of plastic and bottle strips materials inimproving its strength.
