Abstract

Waste plastic and its disposal is a major problem to the environment, which results in pollution and global warming. The utilization of plastic waste in bituminous mixes enhances its properties and also its strength, durability, life. It will also be the best solution for plastic waste disposal & various defects in pavement i.e., potholes on roads, corrugation, etc. the types of waste plastic used are polyethylene, polypropylene. The waste plastic is shredded & coated over aggregate & mixed with hot bitumen and result plastic- bitumen mix is used for pavement construction. This will not only strengthen the pavement but also increase its durability & strength, the life of the pavement/road. This new technology will be beneficial for the Indian hot-humid climate. It’s economical and eco-friendly. In this paper, we have discussed the soil properties to be considered in the design of flexible bituminous pavement, pavement design, the process of construction flexible. The plastic wastes could be used in road construction and the field tests reduce the stress and proved that the plastic wastes used after proper processing as an additive would enhance the life of the roads and find out the solution to environmental problems. After the addition of plastic, the melting point of bitumen will increase.

Keywords

Plastic waste, flexible bituminous pavement, strength, eradication of potholes, improved pavement stability.
