Scope and Objective<br />
(i) To find improvement in Quality, serviceability &<br />
life of road constructed using waste plastic.<br />
(ii) To find out improvement in quality of bitumen<br />
by adding waste plastic.<br />
(iii) To find the way of scientific disposal of plastic<br />
waste, especially the low end type with value<br />
addition.<br />
Methodology<br />
An experimental stretch using waste plastic of<br />
500 m. length in km 7/900 to 8/400 and a control panel<br />
(i.e. without using waste plastic) of 500 m. length in<br />
km. 7/400 to 7/900 were laid in June-2010 on Surat<br />
– Dandi road, Gujarat. The plastic waste was added<br />
5 Per cent by weight of bitumen to hot aggregate by<br />
replacing the same weight of bitumen. The tests like<br />
BBD test, Distress measurement and Riding Quality of<br />
surface are being carried out under Pre & post monsoon<br />
observations under performance study of the road.<br />
Interim Conclusions/ Supporting Data<br />
It can be drawn after significant data of observations<br />
collected during performance study.<br />

Section Chainage length, m Width, m Details observations<br />
A 1520 to 1770 250 3.75 Untreated section Part section damaged after first monsoon was<br />
patched. After second monsoon patch work<br />
again damaged with cracks and depressions.<br />
Cracks, depression also observed in other<br />
length in the section<br />
B 1770 to 1920 150 3.75 Soil subgrade multilayer Small pot holes observed on BT surface.<br />
treatment with Zycosoil<br />
C 1920 to 2130 210 3.75 Zycosoil treatment in<br />
Soil subgrade, prime<br />
coat, tack coat and hot<br />
bitumen mixes<br />
D 2130 to 2220 90 3.75 Zycosoil mixed in<br />
Bitumen at plant site for<br />
wearing course<br />
(carpet and sealcoat)<br />
The wearing surface is observed without potholes<br />
or cracks, however surface smoothness has<br />
been affected.<br />
In this section no potholes or no cracks,<br />
no depression observed, however surface<br />
smoothness has been affected.
