PhD Dissertation at the University of Basrah Examines the Impact of Recycled Plastic on Earth Structures
A PhD dissertation at the College of Engineering, University of Basrah, examined the impact of using recycled plastic on the hydraulic performance of earth structures.
The dissertation, presented by student Ahmed Obaid Ahmed, aimed to investigate seepage through earth structures such as dams, embankments, flood protection walls, and other water-retaining structures.
The dissertation comprised five chapters, in which the researcher examined the mixing of recycled plastic materials with soil to improve its performance and evaluated the effectiveness of incorporating plastic in reducing seepage-related failure in hydraulic structures.
