摘要：	A new method for reinforcement of surficial slope failures is currently being developed that utilizes reinforcing elements, similar to soil nails, manufactured from recycled plastics and other waste materials. Using recycled plastics has the advantage of providing reinforcing members with high resistance to degradation while providing a market for materials that might otherwise be landfilled. A key aspect of development of the new stabilization scheme is development and evaluation of equipment and methods for installing the plastic reinforcing members. In this paper, results of a series of laboratory and field tests performed to evaluate alternative installation techniques are presented and installation activities performed to construct a full-scale field demonstration are described. Results of development activities to date indicate that recycled plastic members can be reliably and efficiently installed to produce a cost-effective alternative to more conventional slope stabilization techniques. Evaluation of the suitability of recycled plastic pin stabilization schemes for effecting long-term stabilization is ongoing.
