NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF MODIFIED BITUMINOUS MIX FOR DBC USING WASTE POLYTHENE

Now a day, in India as the result of rapid industrial growth in various fields with high population growth an obvious an increase the consumption of polythene. Disposal of largely consumed plastics causes an environmental pollution as they are considered non-biodegradable materials. The objective of this experimental study was partially replacement of polythene wastes mixing with asphalt bitumen in road construction to improve the performance (quality) of the road and to minimize the cost of bitumen spend for road construction in addition to solving disposal problems. The experimental study began with a collection of waste plastics. The waste plastics then washed, dried and cut into desired shapes. Bitumen test, aggregate test, and marshal mix design were held during the study.
