3. Introduction
As the world population grows,so do the amount and type of
waste being generated.
Many of the waste produced will remain in environment.
It is try to match society need for safe and economic disposal
of waste material with highway industry need for better and
more cost effective construction material.
4. Objective
To coat the aggregates with the waste plastic materials.
To check the properties of bituminous mix specimen.
To check the properties of bituminous mix specimen due to
coating of waste plastic materials.
To reduce the disposal problem of plastics.
5. Road construction material
Highway construction project utilize those natural rock
material: aggregate, crushed rocks, broken stone and gravel.
All of this material can be fully or partially replaced with
recycled materials.
Surface - concrete mix made of cement and aggregate
Base -course unbound or bound materials
Subbase – aggregate, unbound materials
Subgrade_ ashalt, lime, Portland cement or other modifier
6. Follwing types of waste materials used in road construction.
Pawing waste materials
Industrial ash material
Plastic waste material
7. Advantages
These materials cheaply available.
Multi-layer films can be used which provide strength and
durability.
No maintenance will be required for years as the surface
remains without any cracking or potholes.
Domestic and industrial waste products provide a
prospective source of alternative materials.
14. Case study
Plastic roads first developed by Rajagopalan Vasudevan in
2001, consist of an asphalt mix with plastic waste
incorporated into the asphalt mixture. The implementation of
plastics in roads also opens a new option for recycling post-
consumer plastics.
. Australia, Indonesia, India, the United Kingdom, the United
States, and many other countries have used technology which
can incorporate plastic waste into an asphalt mix.In the
Netherlands in the cities of Zwolle andGiethoorn there are
two bicycle paths installed made purely from waste plastics
15. In collaboration with RV.College of Engineering and the
Bangalore City Corporation. Ahmed Khan proved that blends
of Polyblend and bitumen, when used to lay roads, enhanced
the bitumen's water repellant properties, and helped to
increase road life by a factor of three.
16. Conclusion
This study will have a positive impact on the environment as
it will reduce the volume of plastic waste to be disposed of by
incineration and land filling. It will not only add value to
plastic waste but will develop a technology, which is eco-
friendly
But also increased the road life as well as will help to
improve the environment and also creating a source of
income.
