Abstract:

Flexible pavement is primarily used in the construction of roads. Asphalt pavement is a binding organic material made from the byproducts of crude oil. Connecting to the various rural areas is, of time, important for the growth and development of the country. Major connectivity is made by flexible pavement. Thus, it is necessary to enhance the quality of bituminous roads to avoid major accidents on the road. As in today's scenario, the waste like plastic and washout bitumen from the old road is increasing day by day. It is necessary to utilise this waste to its maximum percentage such that the quality should enhance or there is no decline in quality compared to conventional material. In this paper, Conventional VG-40 Bitumen is studied for the Sub-base / DBM of flexible pavement. Further bitumen replacement of 1.25% interval ranging from 5% to 10% by CASE 1 – Shredded Plastic & CASE-2 Recycled Asphalt. All the samples were tested as per the standard testing parameter of bitumen and tested samples of aggregates and coated aggregate as per the CASES.

Keywords:

Normal Aggregates, Plastic waste, Bitumen, Modified plastic Bitumen, Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP).
