Abstract

This is the study on the effect of waste materials with different percentages on sand to find shear strength of sand-waste and pure sand by using direct shear test. Two different waste materials namely tire shred and plastic granules were investigated in this study. The aim of this paper demonstrates how shear strength characteristics of sand mixed with various percentages of different waste material are altered. A relatively, uniform sand has been mixed with waste material i.e. tire shred and plastic granules. Various sand-tire shred and sand-plastic granules mixtures having 0%, 5%,10%, 15%, 20%,25%,30%,40% and 50% waste hose particles by weight were chosen. The waste material was distributed in the sand such that uniform mixtures are obtained. Finally compare the result of shear strength between three sand matrix i.e. uniform sand, sand-tire shred and sand-plastic granules.
