A Comparative Review on: Flexible Pavement with Plastic Waste Material

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is the use of waste materials such as waste tire rubber and plastic waste
material and analyzes the physicochemical properties of flexible pavement. On the other side the road traffic is increasing.
The traffic intensity is increasing and the loads on the road are also increased. Our project work is helping to take care of
both these aspects. Plastic waste consisting LDPE(low density polyethylene) and HDPE(high density polyethylene) can be
used as a blending material with bitumen and this can be used for surface course of flexible pavement in road construction.
Secondly the waste tires are powdered (30 mesh) and the powder is blended with bitumen and this blend is also used as a
surface course of flexible pavement in road construction. So by using above materials, they increase the strength, durability,
Permanent deformation and water resistance as well as providing a mean to dispose of wastes. At the end, it concludes that
the modified bitumen is cheaper than conventional bitumen. The test result of modified bitumen is better than conventional
bitumen.
