Bituminous Concrete

In this new era there are lot of changes are onaerved.But new materials and practices are not coming out that much. Some of the people uses some partial replacement of bitumen and tar which gives some satisfactory results. But later investigations prove that all those materials are not exhibits required properties in all aspects. In that time investigators turn their eye on the recycling materials like rubber and plastic. They noticed that both materials gives the satisfactory results. On the other hand the usage of plastic (polyethylene bags, pet bottles, polystyrene and other plastic products) products increases day by day, that leads to lot of pollution due to plastic waste. This plastic material takes hundreds of years to decompose in the soil. Hence they become complicated to environment. This plastic waste stops the percolations of rain water in to the soil and affects the drainage property of soil. It also damages the soil fertility.A new technology introduced to usages of plastic waste in bitumen to strengthen the bituminous concrete mix and increase the load bearing strength. It will help to reduce the waste plastic content and also make the pavement more durable and strong, economical also

Decomposing plastics, including plastic bottles, is a very difficult process because it takes 50-100 years. Every year, the use of plastic bottles is increasing, but only few people are willing to treat plastic bottle waste. In this study, plastic bottle waste is used as a substitute of fine aggregate and shaped in such a way to have a sand-like gradation. The variations of graded plastic bottle waste are 0%, 5%, 10%, and 12%. The test objects for each variation consist of three specimens. Data are analyzed by using regression and classical assumption test with SPSS program. The results of the data analysis show that there is a simultaneous effect on the compressive strength with variations in plastic waste substitution. The compressive strength decreases with the increase in the percentage of plastic added. Maximum compressive strength is at the variations of 0% and 5% with19.192 MPa and 16.414 MPa, respectively.

AbstractThis paper presents a recent study on recycling poly-ethylene-tetraphylate (PET), known as plastic waste material in Ghana, to wealth. Composites were produced by heating aggregates together with shredded PET plastic waste material, while bitumen was added to the plastic-coated aggregates. The composites produced were reinforced with 4.5 wt%, 9.0 wt%, 13.6 wt%, and 18.0 wt% PET. Mechanical properties of the fabricated composite samples were studied with a Universal testing machine for optimization. The work demonstrated that shredded PET plastic waste material acts as a strong binding agent for bitumen that can improve on the shelf life of the asphalt. From the results, 13.6 wt% concentration of PET was shown to experience the maximum compressive strength and flexural strength. Besides, water resistance was shown to increase with PET concentrations/weight fraction. From the data characterized 13.6 wt% of PET plastic gives the optimum plastic concentration that enhances the rheological properties of bitumen. The implications of the result are therefore discussed for the use of 13.6 wt% PET in road construction.
