Abstract

In this work some of plastic waste materials which can reuse by various methods and used in road construction. The discussed materials have many advantages over conventional/traditional materials and methods. Now a Days disposal of plastic waste has became a problem of great concern for environmental engineers due its non-biodegradable characteristics and hazard. Bitumen is currently one among the foremost widely used binding materials in road pavement. The explanations thanks to which bitumen is usually used as a binding material are its excellent binding characteristics, waterproofing properties and low cost as compared to other binders Bitumen is currently one among the foremost widely used Binding Material in Road Pavement. This project will conduct a study on recycling plastic waste and blending it with bitumen to get roads in India and compare with the environmental and economic conditions. Some of these Materials are relatively Cheaper compared to other Binders and Materials which provides more strength and Durability as compared to Conventional Road Construction. This Study presents Results of the Waste Plastic and Polypropylene which are used as a Modifier by an amount 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% by its Weight of Bitumen in making bituminous mixture for pavement applications. When waste plastic is mixed with bitumen it will come up with useful information and creating awareness amongst the learner in the industry regarding waste material and also increases its water Resistivity, Capacity and Stability. Marshal Stability test is taken into account to stimulate with field condition.
