A Review on utilizing waste Polyethylene Terephthalate in composite bituminous mixes
Abstract: Rapid ascend in population growth has led to a corresponding rise in annual Polyethylene Terephthalate waste and others Polymers production. This underscores the urgent necessity to reuse discarded polymers like Polyethylene Terephthalate, Poly Vinyl Acetate, Low Density Polyethylene etc. When discarded polymers isn't recycled, it typically finds its way into landfills, contributes to oceanic garbage patches, or undergoes incineration, each of which poses distinct environmental challenges. Moreover, controlling pollution from …

Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) as Composite Material in Pavement
Abstract: Conventional bituminous pavements are extensively utilized across India, yet they face challenges such as limited impact resistance, low tensile strength, and brittleness compared to concrete alternatives. Despite concrete's superior strength and durability, it exhibits deficiencies in ductility, fatigue resistance, and ability to withstand substantial deformations. This research delves into the feasibility of fiber-reinforced concrete as a composite material for pavements, with a primary goal of extending the service life of …

Analysis of Physical Properties of Polyethylene Terephthalate Coated Aggregates used in Bituminous Concrete Mixes
Abstract: The main cause of climate change that the world has been facing for several years is burning of plastic waste in open air. To contribute to solution of this problem, an investigation was carried out with utilization of plastic waste in bituminous mixtures used in flexible pavement.With varied amounts of Polyethylene Terephthalate (0%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, and 8%) of asphalt content, variousdesirable properties of aggregates required for bituminous mix …
