| Summary: | Plastic is used all over the world because it is durable, lightweight, and
affordable for a lot of product manufacturing. It becomes a major source of use in
human daily life because most of the products are made of plastic. Therefore, this
study is an initiative to use the plastic modified asphalt for road construction. Road
distress like pothole may become worse if it is not repaired immediately. The
objectives of this study are to study the strength of plastic modified asphalt for pothole
repairing and to analyze the optimum plastic content (OPC) in the asphalt mixture.
The study is focus on plastic waste materials that are often used in asphalt pavement.
It is related with the performance of modified asphalt mix that use plastic waste as
the additives in asphalt. The method used to conduct the study is systematic review.
The relationship of plastic modified asphalt with the stability, tensile strength and
resilient modulus were identified in the study. It has been proved that the plastic
modified asphalt provides better stability, strength and resistance to the pavement. It
is suggested to perform research of modified asphalt with various types of
thermoplastic waste as it can be recycled and comes from variety of uses. |
