Economics of Using Waste Polymer Material as An Alternative to Stone Aggregates in Bituminous Road Pavements
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Polymer waste generated at recycled pipe manufacturing plant (locally called jali gulla) is used to obtain an alternative material for stone aggregates. These Waste Polymer Aggregates (WPA) are subjected to different tests recommended by IS codes and the test result indicates that WPA are suitable to be used in bituminous road as a substitute to traditional coarse aggregates. In the present work, efforts are taken to calculate cost of materials per kilometer length of a bituminous road for a given width of 3.7 meter. It is found that, total cost of materials in case of waste polymer aggregate road is considerably less than that for a usual stone aggregate road. Since WPA are comparatively light in weight, their use in road construction can further minimize the cost due to ease in their mixing, placing and transporting operation.
