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.
