A study of the impact of recycling plastic waste for use in asphalt concrete pavement

Abstract

The paper presents a study of the impact of recycling plastic waste for use in asphalt concrete pavement. The Department of Rural Road has experimented with research to test the properties of recycling plastic waste for use in asphalt concrete pavement. In the laboratory, the results are good, so there is a motivation to move a laboratory section to the site section, thus expanding the study's results into traffic volume, vehicle loads, and environment in reality to study the construction process, limitations, obstacles, and engineering properties. For engineering properties, we study the pavement response actions such as deflection, stress, and strain which have environmental variables, So we have to design the pavement thickness by Analytical Method. In this study, we created a Mathematical Model by using various variables of materials and criteria of previous material damage in the laboratory. The pavement structure in the experiment field with an asphalt concrete layer thickness of 0.05 m. and a pavement base using the origin materials thickness of 0.20 m. was completed on the road in January 2020. Nowadays, the Bureau of Testing Research and Development Department uses the experiment field to monitor behavior and engineering performance.
