| Abstract: |
Use of waste plastic in bituminous mix has revealed improved performance properties of bituminous mix in terms of strength, fatigue life and reduction in overall rutting. But this improvement in properties of bituminous mix depends a lot on the type of waste plastic used. Various factors like; size of shredded waste plastic, type of plastic, thickness of plastic, temperature of aggregates, addition method of waste plastic affects the performance properties of the bituminous mix. This paper discusses about the implementation of waste plastic technology in construction of roads in Delhi NCR region by adopting dry mixing process. Most of the roads under this project were constructed by following IRC SP 98:2013 and 8% {by weight of bitumen) of waste plastic was used whereas on one section in NCR region higher dosages of waste plastic was used {upto 3% by weight of the mix). |
