Clayey soils are recognized to have undesirable technical characteristics. They have a poor shear strength, which is worsened by moisture or other physical stress. Soil stabilizing procedures are required to improve the technical properties of the soil prior to construction. Additionally, waste product creation is rising daily as modernized regions of the world expand. As a result, the price of land filling and the transportation of the garbage would go up. Reusing waste resources for development purposes is a good idea. The primary goals of this study are to analyze how LDPE and aluminium waste are used in geotechnical applications in a way that is environmentally sustainable and to assess how these waste materials influence tests for the Atterberg limit, shear strength, compressibility, and unrestrained compression. India generates hundreds of tons of LDPE and aluminium waste annually, which is difficult to dispose of and has a negative effect on the environment. Aluminium scrap is acquired in the form of shreds and put to the soil in various amounts, as well as LDPE in powder form, to determine the ratio where the soil achieves its maximum strength. Additionally, the traits of dirt made of clay that hadn't been modified by LDPE and scrap aluminium were contrasted with those of untreated clay soil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
