Use of Plastic Waste in Bituminous Road
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
disposal of waste plastic has become a serious problem and waste plastics are thrown out which cause environmental pollution. Utilization of waste obtain in production of recycle plastic pipe may be used as coarse aggregate in the construction of bituminous pavement. In the proposed work we have done experimental study on waste plastic aggregates obtained from recycled pipe waste generated at pipe manufacturing plant and attempted to investigate their feasibility to be used as fully replacement of the natural aggregate. The waste coming from the manufacturing process of the pvc pipe is commonly known as gulla waste which contains few stones, metal particles along with major portion of crude, non-recyclable polymer waste. This gulla waste is deployed in shredding machine to convert it in to plastic aggregate. These plastic aggregate is known as waste polymer aggregate (wpa). Various laboratory tests are performed on wpa like percentage water absorption, specific gravity determination, impact, crushing and abrasion value test, stripping test with bitumen, marshall stability test referring the guidelines given by indian standard specifications and indian road congress (irc). The test result outcomes are positive concluding that wpa is feasible to replace the natural aggregate by wpa. The use of the innovative techniques will not only strengthen the road construction but also increase the road life as well as will help to improve the environment. These roads would be a boon for india’s hot and extremely humid climate, where temperature frequently cross 50°c and torrential rains create havoc leaving most of the roads with big pot holes.
