Uses of Plastic Waste in Road Construction in Maiduguri
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Research In Engineering & Management. - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
This study investigated the use of waste plastics for the modification of properties of road aggregates. The shredded plastics waste was thoroughly mix with heated aggregates forming a layer on the surface of the aggregates. These plastics waste coated aggregates are tested for impact value, crushing value, specific gravity and water absorption. It has been found that there is significant improvement in the properties of plastic-coated aggregates after testing.
