Summary: | Malaysian citizen are increasing rapidly year by year. As the population growth,
land use will increase significantly and there will be more civil engineering project will
be carried on soft soil. Soft soil needs ground improvement method in order to stabilize
the soil and prevent uneven settlement. As the solution, geotextiles are used to improve
stability of the soil and reduce cost of constructing earthwork over such soils. Method
used for this research was rubber shredded and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene that
mixed with soil in order to stabilize the soil. This research was to investigate suitability
uses of rubber shredded and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene as an additive to clay and
laterite. This research also investigates strength of the soil with and without additive
using triaxial test under consolidated undrained.
