Možnosti využití plastových částic z PET lahví pro vyztužení zemin

Abstract

In my work, I have set myselve the task to find a positive effect of randomly dispersed plastic particles from empty PET bottles on the strength and deformation characteristics of the soil. At present, the process of discharged water into plastic bottles is the fastest growing beverage industry. One of the possible options of recycling is to use cutted PET bottles for increasing parameters of soil bearing capacity, especially shear strength. I used scientific articles dealing with this topic, but I wanted to try to come to my own conclusions based on the results of my own laboratory exams. First, I performed examinations with soil containing no PET particles. After its evaluation, I set procedure for measuring soil mixed with plastic particles. The thesis includes graphical outputs of the tests and protocols.
