Effects of Adding Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) to Dense Bituminous Macadam Mixes Using the Dry Process
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2553-9198
This study looked at the mechanical characteristics of dense bituminous macadam mixtures that have been amended using waste plastic bottles (PET). Bitumen content was taken as 4.1–4.9% (with a 0.2% increment), and the amount of PET content was taken as 4–14% (with a 2% increment) of bitumen content. The quantity of bitumen content required for traditional mixes was 4.82%, whereas modified mixes require 4.50%. Reduction in optimum bitumen content and better rutting performance indicates that dense bituminous macadam mixes improve with the addition of PET. This technology is beneficial in an environmentally friendly way.
