USE OF PLASTIC WASTE IN BITUMEN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Civil Engineering

In this paper the study of some of plastic waste materials which we can reuse by certain processing and use in road construction..the materials as a result we are equipped with useful and valuable information about these materials. The discussed materials have many advantages over conventional/traditional materials and methods.. This project will conduct a study on recycling plastic waste and blending it with bitumen to lay roads in India and compare with the environmental and economic conditions Some of these materials are relatively cheaper and provide more strength as compared to traditional road materials. This project will come up with useful information and creating awareness amongst the learner in the industry regarding waste material. So that one can have a step towards further detailed information about these materials and thus be able to implement on field which will definitely improve the level of construction. In this paper we are going to study about the comparison of bitumen roads with plastic bitumen roads. As the population and development activities is growing rapidly the quantum of plastic waste in municipal solid waste is increasing, which leading to widespread littering on the landscape. Once the used plastic material is generally thrown out and they do not undergo bio decomposition. Therefore the waste is either landfilled or incinerated. Both the actions are not eco-friendly as it pollutes the land and the air. There are many ways to stop the plastic pollution. The lots of small individual actions can have a big impact on the planet. Currently, majority of Indian roads are paved with asphalt(Hot &Warm) consists of aggregate and bitumen mixed together at specific temperature, developed techniques to use plastic waste for construction purpose of roads and flexible pavements has reviewed. This waste modified bitumen mix show better binding property, stability, density and more resistant to water
