Statistical investigation on plastic waste recycling by reusing in soil

Masoomeh Khodabakhshi, Mahyar Arabani

Abstract

Recycling and reusing plastic waste are key options for ameliorating its negative effects on the environment and the economy. This paper proposes evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) as a powerful technique to predict the compressibility behavior of sand and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) mixtures. In the investigation, a series of large-scale oedometer experiments were conducted. The results of the coefficients of lateral earth pressure and volume compressibility coefficients of different mixtures were used to develop EPR models. The model parameters were evaluated by sensitivity analyses. The results showed that the best developed EPR model is robust for estimating the characteristics of sand and HDPE mixtures.
