The growing production and consumption of PET packaging represents a major environmental problem because they end up being improperly discarded in nature or simply disposed in landfills. With the aim to attenuate the environmental problem researchers were developed in the last years, in order to offer a nobler destination for this waste, especially for PET bottles. In this context, this research proposes the use of PET bottles waste, in form of powder, crushed and fibers as an alternative material for pavements base. Soil-PET mixtures, using a clayey soil with the addition of PET powder in percentages of 10, 20 and 30 percent, addition of crushed PET in percentages of 3, 5 and 7 percent and addition of PET fiber in percentages of 0,25 and 0,5 percent, were geotechnically evaluated by physical characterization tests, compaction tests and Resilient Modulus tests. The mechanical tests were performed on freshly compacted samples and also on heated specimens, evaluating the influence of heating in the resilient modulus. The computer program SisPav was also used to simulate the mechanistic empirical design for a typical pavement structure composed of the researched material. The results indicate that the insertion of PET influences the mechanical behavior of the soil, and it was verified that lower contents of PET allows higher values of resilient modulus. It can be concluded that the use of a clayey soil added with PET, as an alternative material in pavements base, is technically feasible and represents a good solution for the destination of this waste as well as for the mitigation of its aggressive potential to the environment.
