Abstract :

This Study Discussed The Suitability Of Plastic Waste Materials For Pavement Construction... The Waste Is Mixed In Different Proportions To The Soil Sample And Their Influences On Geotechnical Properties Were Studied. The Results Of The Tests Indicated That Plastic Alone Is Not Suitable For Pavement Sub Grade. When Quarry Dust Was Added Along With Soil Plastic Mix, It Maintains The CBR Value Within The Required Range. Plastic Use In Road Construction Is Not New. It Is Already In Use As PVC Or HDPE Pipe Mat Crossings Built By Cabling Together PVC (polyvinyl Chloride) Or HDPE (high-density Polyethylene) Pipes To Form Plastic Mats. The Plastic Roads Include Transition Mats To Ease The Passage Of Tyres Up To And Down From The Crossing. Both Options Help Protect Wetland Haul Roads From Rutting By Distributing The Load Across The Surface. But The Use Of Plastic-waste Has Been A Concern For Scientists And Engineers For A Quite Long Time. Recent Studies In This Direction Have Shown Some Hope In Terms Of Using Plastic-waste In Road Construction I.e., Plastic Roads. Plastic Roads Mainly Use Plastic Carry-bags, Disposable Cups And PET Bottles That Are Collected From Garbage Dumps As An Important Ingredient Of The Construction Material. When Mixed With Hot Bitumen, Plastics Melt To Form An Oily Coat Over The Aggregate And The Mixture Is Laid On The Road Surface Like A Normal Tar Road.
