Analysis of replacing virgin bitumen by plastic waste in asphalt concrete mixtures

Polymers are used worldwide for their unique properties such as a light weight or chemical resistance, but which have led to an environmental challenge because of the time they need completely decompose when buried in landfills. Complementarily, bitumen generates second biggest impact construction road. This paper analyses mechanical, and economic performance replacing 25% with two low-cost plastic wastes (cable film fraction from household packaging waste) asphalt mixture. The results demonstrated feasibility technology 3 viewpoints analysed. plastic-modified mixtures achieve reductions more than 17% 11% analysis is focused on wearing course.
