UTILIZATION OF PLASTIC IN RIGID ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The percent study investigates the effective use of waste plastic as a modifier for bitumen roads. Solid
waste management is the thrust area. The various waste materials, plastic waste and principle solid waste are of great
concern these leads to disposal crisis and environmental pollution. On the other side, road traffic is increasing. The
load bearing capacity of the roads should be increased. Our present work is helping to take care of both these aspects.
Plastic waste consists of carry bags, bottles, cups, and disposals. Commonly soil, aggregates, sand, bitumen can be
used in road construction. Natural materials are limited in nature, its quantity is increasing gradually. If our material
can be utilized in highway construction, the pollution, and waste problems may be decreased. The use of the modern
technology will not only strengthen the road construction but also increase the road life as well as will help to
decrease the quantity of waste in environment.
