Abstract

The use of recycled plastic waste as a binder for paving blocks has been reported in a number of previous studies. However, most of these studies focus on feasibility and do not clearly explain how different plastic types behave mechanically over time. In this study, the compressive strength performance of paving blocks made from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was experimentally compared using sand or fly ash as fillers. All mixtures were prepared with a fixed composition of 60% plastic and 40% aggregate. Compressive strength testing was carried out at 28 and 56 days using three specimens for each mix. The results show that the HDPE–sand mixture achieved the highest compressive strength at 28 days, reaching 15.7 MPa. Nevertheless, a noticeable reduction in strength was observed at 56 days, particularly in the HDPE-based mixtures. This reduction is mainly associated with polymer shrinkage and the development of interfacial stresses between the plastic binder and the aggregates. Overall, the results indicate that plastic-based paving blocks can meet the requirements of SNI 03–0691–1996 for light-duty applications, although their long-term mechanical stability remains a limitation that needs further attention.

Abstract

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia has extensive coastal areas that are intensively developed for infrastructure. Kosambi District in Tangerang Regency is one of the rapidly growing coastal regions due to its proximity to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport. However, the area is predominantly underlain by soft marine clay soils with low bearing capacity and high compressibility, which pose challenges for infrastructure development. To improve soil stability, soil stabilization methods are required to enhance unconfined compressive strength and undrained shear strength. This study aims to analyze the effect of cockle shell powder addition on the unconfined compressive strength and undrained shear strength of soft marine clay. Laboratory tests were conducted on untreated soil and soil stabilized with 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% cockle shell powder by dry weight of soil. The results indicate that the optimum performance was achieved at a 10% addition, resulting in a 24.86% increase in unconfined compressive strength compared to untreated soil. In addition to improving strength, the addition of cockle shell powder reduced water content and enhanced interparticle bonding, thereby improving soil stability. These findings demonstrate that cockle shell powder has strong potential as an effective stabilizing material for soft coastal clay soils.
