Soil is the key component of this nature and all the fundamental needs of life is fulfil by this, for example, sustenance, house and fabrics are satisfied by the dirt. Expensive soils with high potential for swelling and contracting because of progress in dampness content are one of the real soil of India. The long-term performance of any structure depends on the strength of the underlying soils. Unstable soils like black cotton soils can create significant problems for pavements or structures by high swelling and shrinkage. Use of plastic products such as polythene bags, plastic bottles, containers and packing strips etc. is increasing day by day. The disposal of thrown away wastes such as plastic bottles pose a serious challenge since these plastic bottles are non-biodegradable and unfit for incineration as they emit harmful gases. The disposal of the plastic wastes without causing any ecological hazards has become a real challenge to the present society. Thus using plastic bottles as a stabilizer is an economical and gainful utilization since there is scarcity of good quality soil for embankments and fills. This study involves the investigation of the effect of plastic bottles on black cotton soil with high compressibility for which a series of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests are conducted with varying aspect ratios of plastic bottles at different layers. The results reflect that there is significant increment CBR value with plastic bottles reinforcement in soil. Introduction.
