Effectiveness Evaluation of Shredded Waste Expanded Polystyrene on the Properties of Binder and Asphalt Concrete

The disposal of massive amounts waste, particularly nondecaying is now a major issue for both developed and developing countries. One the most sustainable solutions to this problem recycle garbage into valuable items. Expanded polystyrene, which manufactured in large quantities, one these waste materials. This being used globally as packaging material, construction household appliances. expanded polystyrene (EPS) necessary due its biodegradability, aesthetically, it has great negative impact on environment. goal research would be see how shredded EPS affects characteristics asphalt concrete. For this, four separate serial concrete samples were made with varying (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1% by weight total aggregate) five different percentages (4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0% aggregate). In study, 60/70 grade bitumen was used. Modified properties examined compared those standard specimens. penetration, ductility, softening point, flash fire point will all affected addition plastic waste. optimal content conventional specimen 5.1 percent, OAC applied. mechanical specimens studied terms Marshall after created regard adding EPS. It been discovered that applying 0.5% produces improved results than other methods. Simultaneously, percentage increased, stability value increased approximately 82.61% traditional mix.
