EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF STONE DUST AND PLASTIC COATED AGGREGATE IN FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT

Abstract

 In the present paper, an approach made to understand the improved properties of flexible pavement materials by introducing waste plastic and stone dust. Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products. Since the vast majority of plastics is  nonbiodegradable, recycling is a part of global efforts to reduce plastics in the waste stream, especially the approximately eight million tonnes of waste plas tic that enter the Earth’s  ocean every year. This  helps to reduce the high rates of plastic pollution. A large amount of stone dust waste is dispose into landfills every year. This waste was obtained as a by-product during the production of aggregates through the crushing process of rocks in the rubble crusher units. The coating of waste plastic over aggregates was done and blending of bitumen with both waste plastic and stone dust was done. Marshall stability experimentations was done to get the improved values. The enhancement in the impact value along with specific gravity and water absorption of the aggregates 
was recorded. Also, enhancement in the bituminous properties like penetration value, softening, viscosity and ductility was observed. It was seen that about accumulation of waste plastic and stone dust shows highly anticipated results.
