In this process some technique or process is undergone and those can be coined as basic principle of this stabilization process in which firstly the sample of any soil is to be considered and if the bearing capacity of the soil is not good enough then the further properties of the soil need to be concluded which helps to determine various properties of soil. Then, after the methods to be determined for the stabilization process.

All the process encompasses designing and other procedure in the same manner stabilized soil mix design must be done in order to make the stability and durability value. Then the construction procedure is considered by compaction of the stabilized layer in a profound manner.

Rapid development in the world has really reflected with various outcomes as the fast growth of the population and also other development deeds has increased the waste products to the acme position and consequently this has various disadvantages.

The work must be in collaboration with the environment instead of doing the work against the environment so this is important task to make the things better by using plastic for alternative uses. As plastics are non-biodegradable materials which have given more and more problem to the users and also destroyed the component of the environment to the great extent.

There are different ways where the use of the plastic is being done it is not only limited to shopping bags, storages and marketing but also many plastic bottles and other various things are made from plastic, which when thrown away creates many hazardous.

India itself produces a waste of plastic of around 40 million ton per year. The same case is there for china and other countries the production is ample but the management of this is very limited which has created many adverse effects. There are different techniques which are being implemented now for the control of these deeds but still there is no remarkable improvement in this process.

The use of plastic are completely limited now and also extra charges of plastic is being imposed too each and every shopping malls and other places which will help to reduced the consumption of those and the process of reuse and recycle would be done in a good ways.

This all implies that there must be proper management of this systems and it is not good to restrict the uses but the alternative for using in other ways or throw out can be used to stabilized the soil which will enhance the quality of soil.

It would be economical and also the proper management of plastic would also be done. There are different researches going on for incorporating the waste to the soil and stabilized the soil and various good outputs are being reflected back which can have tremendous positive outcomes. In this paper we also have done the CBR test and the conclusion are made according to this only.

There are innovative uses of these materials for the several candidate waste materials in geotechnical and pavement applications. There is various researches which are done on the basis of evaluating the compressive, split tensile and flexural strength characteristic of a material and also in order to determine the effectiveness of recycled plastic strips which ensures in enhancing the toughness characteristics of the material.

To use it as an effective reinforcing material a dimensionless toughness index is also advised. This might ensure as an promising material for the alternative materials for civil engineering sectors. In the same way other things also can be implemented in which the plastic soil based geo plastic materials can be produced by heating and mixing simultaneously recycled plastic bottles with soil at a specific temperature to melt the thermoplastic materials so that uniform fused mix can be attended.

This aid in permeability and strength result of open graded aggregates stabilized with the reinforced one. It can be seen that the performance of the paved and unpaved roads are often poor after every monsoon and in most pavements are seen with cracking, potholes, wheel path rutting and serious differential settlement at various locations.

So there must be considered design and the implementation of those in an effective manner is also equally important one. After the experimental work it is clear that these techniques can be used for different things. Soil fibers composites are one of the effective agent in improving the CBR value.

These experimental shows that stress- strain-strength properties of randomly distributed fiber reinforced soil are a function of fiber content and aspect ratio. Good improvement in frictional resistance of fine grained soil was also concluded by roughened HDPE [4]. The feasibility of reinforcing soil along with strips of reclaimed high density polyethylene has been investigated to a limited extent.

It is clear that the interaction between soil and strips which causes the resistance to penetration of the plunger resulting into higher CBR values. The process and the use of the materials for the investigation are as follows. The materials which were considered are soil and the plastic which are being added in certain proportion and the sample so formed was tested.

The sample soil was of Boys Hostel, K. University, India which was used as a main source and different study was taken place on that particular soil. Table 1: Properties of Sample Soil S. In this case the maximum dry density and maximum water content of a sample soil was being concluded which was found to be 1.

In the same way the plastic which are thrown out nearby the site were collected and were made into strips of different aspect ratio. In order to perform a study on CBR response of waste plastic strip reinforced soil having strip width of around 10mm and a thickness of around 40 micron. Tejeswini maximum strip length, which ensures the sufficient room for the strip to behave freely and independent of mould confinement.

Those matrixes would fill the portion of the soil and make it a compact one. Those which are contained in a soil are the ratio of weight of strips to the weight of dry soil.

The procedure that was taken in the laboratory of K. Four such compacted specimens were prepared and comparison of that with that of one of normal unreinforced soil sample was done and the comparisons of those were done. Firstly the collection of soil sample and the plastic waste were collected from the site and then required amount of the strips and soil was weighted and then the one sample of soil was kept as it is and other were mixed with the strip in order to obtain the moisture content.

The so formed soil were compacted for six equal layers by applying 60 evenly distributed blow with 4. When the homogenous mix was obtained then the surcharge of 3 kg was placed over the specimen which was attached over the base plate and then that sample would be taken and placed in the testing machine.

The penetration plunger was seated at the center of the specimen and was brought in contact with the top surface of the soil sample by applying a seating load of 4Kg.

The dial gauge for measuring the penetration values of the plunger was fitted in position. The load reading was done by the dial gauge of the proving ring and the penetration dial gauge was set to zero. Then the application of the load with the penetration reading of. Then the proving ring calibration factor was noted. When the text was over then dismantle of the sample was done and strip condition was examined which showed that the strip were elongated and the impression of soil particles were very distinct to that strip.

The soil sheared during penetration, strip fixed in the soil by friction, elongated and collectively provided strength against the deformation during the test. CBR can be said as the indirect measure of the strength as soil deformed was shear in nature. The load penetration curves so obtained was done by taking the varying aspect ratio as 1,2,3 and 5 and also at different strip content as.

The so observed from the experiment is plotted in the figure enlisted below and from this various conclusions can be drawn. It is very much clear that mixing of the strip in the soil can increase the strength of the soil because the soil sample without the strip is having less strength than that of the one which encompass the strip.

It also can be seen that the waste plastic reinforced helps to increase the CBR value. There is a major increase in the CBR value when the soil sample of unreinforced is taken and compared with that of the reinforced one which is clear in the figure below. Where the plot of the load applied to the samples and the penetration value are to be plotted. It is also clear that when the aspect value is further increased by definite proportion then in such a case CBR values improvement is remarkable.

Two types of torospherical shells were analysed and compared. Results show that the dynamic response of the Torospherical shells subjected to internal dynamic pressure depends not only on the frequency of dynamic pressure but specifically on the ratio of the radii of the toroidal segments to that of the spherical segments.

We also discovered that if loss of dynamic stability of ellipsoidal shells is largely axisymmetrical, loss of dynamic stability of Torospherical shells is asymmetrical with formation of circular waves in the circumferential direction. The mo The paper proposes strut and tie models for the flexure, shear, and bond strength of corroded reinforced concrete RC beams. The deterioration of the material properties including bond and the cross section losses are modeled The deterioration of the material properties including bond and the cross section losses are modeled.

Generalized corrosion and pitting are considered. The models are verified with the experimental data of simply supported beams with transverse stirrups subjected to three-or four-point bending, which shows the reduced capacity and changes of failure modes caused by the deterioration.

The main innovative contributions consist in a consideration of bond deterioration effects in strut and tie models of corroded beams with different shear span-to-depth ratios and the verification of the models by comparison with tests from different campaigns related in the literature that used either natural corrosion, environmental corrosion under load, or slow artificial corrosion. In addition, the fib Model Code provisions for bond and its deterioration due to low and medium corrosion levels are used and extended for higher corrosion levels; practical choices for cross section losses are defined.

Dynamic stability of composite shells subjected to hygrothermal enviornment. Concrete is basic construction material used for most structures. However, the vital structures have to be designed as self-protective such as nuclear plants, power plants, weapon industries, weapons storage places, water retaining These structures should have to be offer self shield against any natural disaster tragedy incidents and intentionally produced horrible incidents such as dynamic loading, incident occurs in nuclear plants, terrorist attack, missile attack, tsunami and etc.

This paper discusses However, it is unclear whether these design stress increases apply equally to both uniform and However, it is unclear whether these design stress increases apply equally to both uniform and concentrated load cases. To address this issue, eight floor systems were constructed and tested to determine their load-sharing properties when subjected to a concentrated load. The concentrated load was independently placed on each joist at quarter span and midspan of the floor while monitoring midspan deflections and reactions at one end of each joist.

Statistical distributions were then chosen to represent percentages of load remaining at the end reactions of each joist. By comparing and combining experimental data with previous finite-element results, floor joist design equations were developed for a single joist.

Factors addressing load distribution were introduced into these equations for calculating maximum moment and deflection. Inherent load sharing in wood-joist floor systems was found to substantially reduce the moment and displacement in the joists directly subjected to a concentrated load.

Structural optimization in consideration of stochastic phenomena—a new wave in engineering. Increasing demands with respect to safety, reliability and quality in structural engineering require the integration Increasing demands with respect to safety, reliability and quality in structural engineering require the integration of probabilistic phenomena as well as the consideration of real-world stochastic processes induced in the structures.

Within the present contribution two distinct research fields are discussed in which the embedding of stochastics and probability is absolutely mandatory. The first field is the reliability-based and lifetime-centered structural optimization, the second is the semi-probabilistic structural optimization regarding geometric imperfections inherent in structural systems. In particular, the processes In particular, the processes them-selves by which these structures Vertical irregularity tends to have an adverse impact on the seismic effect on structures, but currently, there is the lack of appropriate research on the use of isolation technique to reduce seismic effect and issues related to a weak Vertical irregularity tends to have an adverse impact on the seismic effect on structures, but currently, there is the lack of appropriate research on the use of isolation technique to reduce seismic effect and issues related to a weak story.

This paper focuses on the analysis of isolated vertical irregular structure in both scenarios of mass distribution and stiffness distribution. Discussion on the influence of shear forces distribution pattern, damping coefficients and other parameters caused by the irregular distribution of story mass and stiffness is made.

According to previous works cited and our case study analysis, it concluded that base isolation of irregular structures ensures better seismic resistance by reducing base shear and improving damping characteristics.
