Abstract

The usage of plastic materials in our daily life is increasing day by day. These plastic materials are somehow beneficial for us, but the disposal of waste plastic materials has become a serious problem. The use of plastic not only enhances road construction but also helps extend the life of roads and improves the environment. Waste plastics use in roads increases durability and also reduces water retention. This research reviews the use of waste plastics in asphalt pavement. In this study, the properties such as Marshall stability, flow, resilient modulus, fatigue, etc., are studied to boost the usage of waste plastic in asphalt pavements. It is concluded that with the use of waste plastic in asphalt pavement, the quality of roads will be enhanced, and it will also be very beneficial for our environment. The other major advantage is that it will be very cost-effective for underdeveloped countries.
