ANALYSIS OF BITUMEN WITH LDPE AND PVC DUST USED IN FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT

Civil Engineering

Bitumen is a binding material mostly used in construction projects like road surfacing, airports, parking lots etc. This is primarily because of their excellent binding characteristics and water proofing property. It has adhesive properties and is soluble in carbon disulphide.To fulfill the objectives of this study, first of all waste plastic like as sanchi milk pouch waste polythene was collected in shredded form (<2.50mm) from local tea stall in bhopal. And waste pvc dust was collected from govindpura industrial area. after a total of 04 (Four) modified binders and mixes are prepared with 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% waste plastic and pvc dust respectively content to perform the test of penetration, ductility, softening point, Marshall stability test. After performing these test and find the rheological or engineering properties of modified bitumen then Marshall Specimens were prepared with these binders and Marshall Tests were performed accordingly. The performances of modified bituminous mixes are evaluated by determining stability, flow, density and void in the mixes.
