The document discusses a study on the effect of adding waste plastic strips on the early strength development of silty soil. Unconfined compressive strength (UCC) tests were conducted on soil samples stabilized with 1%, 1.25%, and 1.5% waste plastic strips at curing periods of 0, 3, and 7 days. The results showed that the UCC strength increased with the addition of plastic strips and with curing time, with the highest strength achieved with 1.5% plastic strips after 7 days of curing. The waste plastic strips were made into 12mm long and 3mm wide strips and mixed with silty soil to study their effect on soil strengthening.
