Study on Properties of Modified Bitumen for Flexible Pavement Construction using Plastic Scrap and Bakelite

The bituminous mix design aims to determine the proportion of bitumen, filler, fine aggregates, and coarse aggregates to produce a mix which is workable, strong, durable and economical. In India, majority of road comprise of bituminous surfaced flexible pavements. Distress symptoms, such as cracking, rutting, etc., are being increasingly caused at earlier stages due to high traffic intensity, over loading of vehicles and significant variations in daily and seasonal temperature of the pavement. Use of fiber waste plastic scrap material with Bakelite in the construction of flexible pavement is gaining importance. The modified bitumen shows better properties desired for road construction like ductility , fire and flash point, penetration, specific gravity. The fiber waste plastic scrap material with Bakelite were heated at 160 180oC and added to the aggregate, was added to bitumen 60 70 at 120 140oC. The fiber waste plastic scrap material with Bakelite aggregate mix were then combined to get the sample for dense bituminous concrete DBC . In fiber waste plastic scrap material with Bakelite modified bitumen the higher marshal stability value is obtained when 4 fiber waste plastic scrap material with 4 Bakelite is added to the mix. We get marshal stability value of 1448 kg for fiber waste plastic scrap material with Bakelite mix and 1186 kg for without fiber waste plastic scrap material with Bakelite mixOptimum binder content reduces When 6 fiber waste plastic scrap material with Bakelite is added 5 in comparison of ordinary bituminous mix 5.5 .Reduce the cost to around Rs. 5000 Km. of single lane road Carry the process in situ Vijay Patil | Nitesh Kushwaha "Study on Properties of Modified Bitumen for Flexible Pavement Construction using Plastic Scrap and Bakelite" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-4 | Issue-2 , February 2020, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd30209.pd
