REVIEW ON LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF DENSE BITUMINOUS MACADAM MIX USING GRANITE POWDER AND WAST PLASTIC BOTTLE PIECES AS ADDITIVES

Abstract

This article reviews current research into the effects of Granite Powder And Small Pieces of Waste Bottles on bituminous mixtures. Bituminous mixtures are most regularly used global. Day by day, the economic costs of bitumen and the lack of accessibility of ordinary material resources increase. For this reason, the possibility was discovered of locally available waste material such as Granite Powder, fly ash, lime, fibers, ceramic waste, silica fumes, slag, Small Pieces of Waste Bottles plastic, etc. to discover. Granite Powder And Small Pieces of Waste plastic Bottles (Polyethylene Terephthalate(PET)) are by-products that cause excessive environmental hazards, damage to the land and the environment in which it is disposed of. To solve this problem, a laboratory evaluation of the mechanical performance of Dense Bituminous Macadam mixtures using Granite Powder and Small Pieces of Waste plastic Bottles as a partial replacement of fillers is carried out here. In this experimental study, the Marshall Stability Test was considered to be a design and evaluation of bituminous pavement mixtures. The mechanical properties of these two materials are tested, whether or not it is advantageous for the bituminous paving mixes
