INTRODUCTION
6JUNE 2020
Background
Majority of roads in India are flexible, for which bulk of
distress is either rutting or fatigue.
Rutting is a major form of distress in pavements.
It is also known as permanent settlement of pavement.
Mainly attributed to shear deformation in the upper
HMA layers.
Visible as longitudinal grooves along the wheel path.

Blending of Aggregates
Intermixing of two or more fine or coarse aggregate to
produce a combination of aggregates with improved
gradation and other properties
Materials blended were CA 20 mm, CA 10 mm, stone
dust and cement
Trial and Error method was adopted, Proportion was
varied until the required aggregate gradation was
achieved.

Formula: P = Aa + Bb + Cc + Dd
Where,
P = % of material passing a given sieve for the blended
aggregate A (CA 20mm), B (CA 10mm), C (SD) and D
(cement).
A, B, C and D = % of material passing a given sieve for
each constituent of mix A, B, C and D.

1. Bitumen content at maximum stability value.
2. Bitumen content at maximum bulk density.
3. Bitumen content at 4% air voids.

CONCLUSIONS
JUNE 2020 103
Rutting depth decreased on adding plastic as an additive.
Rut depth varied inversely with plastic content.
Parameters such as WTR, WTS, RRI, DS and CSI showed improved
performance on mixing plastic.
LDPE plastic demonstrated better performance than PP plastic.
Suitability of wheel tracker device to assess rutting potential has been
established in this research.

Recommendations
Maximum improvement was observed for 8-10% plastic content. Therefore,
the optimum percentage of plastic content is 8-10% by weight of bitumen.
LDPE mix demonstrated around 15% better performance than PP mix.
Therefore, it is a better additive.
JUNE 2020 105
Future scope of work
Other plastics such as PET, PVC, PS etc. should also investigated for their
efficacy as an additive.
Similar research for DBM mix.
Cont.… (Conclusions)
Air void ratio of samples should be examined for better correlation

    6JUNE 2020 Background Majority ofroads in India are flexible, for which bulk of distress is either rutting or fatigue. Rutting is a major form of distress in pavements. It is also known as permanent settlement of pavement. Mainly attributed to shear deformation in the upper HMA layers. Visible as longitudinal grooves along the wheel path.

    JUNE 2020 103 Ruttingdepth decreased on adding plastic as an additive. Rut depth varied inversely with plastic content. Parameters such as WTR, WTS, RRI, DS and CSI showed improved performance on mixing plastic. LDPE plastic demonstrated better performance than PP plastic. Suitability of wheel tracker device to assess rutting potential has been established in this research. Cont.… (Conclusions)
