    Construction of Flexible Pavement 5.1 Construction Procedure For Plastic Flexible Pavement

    The document discusses the construction process of flexible pavement made with plastic waste. The process involves clearing the site, forming a trench, compacting sub-grade, placing sub-base and base coarse layers of aggregate, heating aggregate to 170°C and coating it with plastic, laying the aggregate in layers, applying hot bitumen, and allowing 24 hours to cure before opening to traffic. Plastic is added to hot aggregate to make the road, which reduces the need for bitumen and increases road strength. However, there are concerns about toxins leaching from the plastic during construction and rain.

    CONSTRUCTION OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT

    5.1 Construction Procedure for Plastic Flexible Pavement:

     Site is cleared and fill the cuts are completed. Trench is formed to a
    770mm depth; the width of trench is 7m. The trench is brought to the
    desired grade and is compacted.
     Provide sub-base coarse up to 300mm depth above the sub-grade and
    place 90mm -40mm size aggregate in the trench so as to avoid
    segregation, the layer is rolled using smooth wheeled rollers starting
    from the edges and proceeding towards the center.
     Provide Base coarse up to 250mm depth above the sub-base. Place
    50mm -20mm size aggregate with crushing waste on the sub-base.
    The layer is rolled using rollers.
     In surface coarse 170mm depth, spread the aggregate size as less than
    12.5mm. This aggregate heated up to 170°c and plastic coated. This
    aggregate laid on the base course.
     Over the dry compacted aggregate, the binder is applied uniformly
    either with pressure distributer.
     After the application of binder, the key aggregates are spread and
    rolled.
     The finished surface is opened to traffic after a minimum period of 24
    hour.

    5.2 Plastic Road Laying Process:

     The aggregate is heated to 170˚c in mini hot mix plant.


     The shredded plastic waste is added in equal proposition within 30
    seconds.
     Immediately the hot bitumen grade 60/70 or 80/100 (160˚c) is added.
     The mixture is transferred to the road and the road is laid.

    5.3 Advantages of Plastic Road:

     Reduce the need of bitumen. Reduce the bitumen 7 tons per kilometer.
     Increase the strength and performance of road.
     Plastic road does not form potholes because of its low water
    permeability character.
     Higher softening point; (withstands high temperature).
     Lower penetration value; (withstands higher load).
     Better disposal of waste plastics.
     No stripping- resists the permeation of water road.
    5.4 Disadvantages of Plastic Road:

     Cleaning process Toxics present in the co-mingled plastic waste


    would start leaching.

     During the road laying process In the presence of chlorine will


    definitely release noxious HCL gas.

     After the road laying, It is opined that the first rain will trigger
    leaching. As the plastics will merely form a sticky layer, (mechanical
    abrasion).

     The components of the road, once it has been laid, are not inert
