Experimental Investigation On The Properties Of Pavement Using Waste Plastic In Road Construction

Abstract

Due to the tremendous increases in population and changes in life style Waste plastic material Management playsan important role and one of the most powerfulconcepts in recent year.Therefore the disposal of waste plastic is a hazardous and become a serious problem globally due to their non-biodegradabilityand burning of these waste plastic bags causes highly environmental pollution.A study was conducted on use of waste Polyethylene Terephthalate in bitumen mixes. Marshall Stability and flow values were used to determine strength and deformation characteristics Strength. A comparison was made between conventional bitumen mixes and Marshall Values of modified mixes. Ideal percentage of waste PET polymer in bitumen mixes was found by varying the % of PET. An investigation was carried out on bituminous mixes modified by addition PET by fix mixing temperature.The PET was added in2 – 12 % (by the weight of optimum bitumen).We can conclude that the stability of PET modified bituminous binders is better compared to that of conventional bituminous binders. Use of waste plastic in bituminous binders contribute protection of environment
